Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: membrane protein proteolysis; open tracheal system development.
16 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: trichogen cell; heart primordium; embryonic/larval tracheal system.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Peptidase A22, presenilin signal peptide; Peptidase A22B, signal peptide peptidase.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
