Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity; alpha-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: glycolipid biosynthetic process; glycosphingolipid biosynthetic process; positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway.
9 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Alpha 1,4-glycosyltransferase domain; Glycosyltransferase, DXD sugar-binding motif.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages.
