Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: neurotransmitter transporter activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: synaptic transmission, glutamatergic.
57 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: neuromuscular junction; neuropil; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction; antennal lobe; synaptic vesicle.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Major facilitator superfamily; Major facilitator superfamily domain; Major facilitator superfamily domain, general substrate transporter.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages.
