Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: low-density lipoprotein receptor activity.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: electron transport chain.
7 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Cytochrome C oxidase subunit II, transmembrane domain; EGF calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding, conserved site; EGF-like region, conserved site; EGF-type aspartate/asparagine hydroxylation site; Epidermal growth factor-like; LDLR class B repeat; Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeat; Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A, conserved site; Six-bladed beta-propeller, TolB-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
