| Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sterol binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: sterol homeostasis; sterol transport; ecdysteroid biosynthetic process. 7 alleles are reported. The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: Malpighian tubule. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Immunoglobulin E-set; MD-2-related lipid-recognition. 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 00-06 and 12-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages. . |
