Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: sodium channel activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: inter-male aggressive behavior.
7 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Na+ channel, amiloride-sensitive.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed during late pupal stages, in adult male stages.
