Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: heparin binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: muscle organ development; cell adhesion mediated by integrin; muscle attachment.
19 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: tendon cell; dorsal oblique muscle; lateral longitudinal muscle; dorsal acute muscle; embryonic/larval muscle system; ventral longitudinal muscle.
It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Concanavalin A-like lectin/glucanase; Concanavalin A-like lectin/glucanase, subgroup; EGF calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding, conserved site; EGF-like region, conserved site; EGF-type aspartate/asparagine hydroxylation site; Epidermal growth factor-like; Epidermal growth factor-like, type 3; Thrombospondin, C-terminal; Thrombospondin, type 3 repeat; Thrombospondin, type 3-like repeat.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-18 embryonic stages, during late pupal stages.
