Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: heat shock protein binding; unfolded protein binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: endocytosis; liquid clearance, open tracheal system; open tracheal system development; regulation of tube length, open tracheal system; extracellular matrix organization.
5 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: presumptive embryonic/larval tracheal system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Heat shock protein DnaJ; Heat shock protein DnaJ, N-terminal; TM2.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 12-18 hour embryonic stages, during late pupal stages.
