Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: identical protein binding; bacterial cell surface binding; protein homodimerization activity; axon guidance receptor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: dendrite self-avoidance; axon extension involved in axon guidance; axon guidance; phagocytosis; central nervous system morphogenesis; neuron development; axonal fasciculation; mushroom body development; peripheral nervous system development.
126 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 18 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; multicellular structure; adult segment; peripheral nervous system; embryonic/larval hemocoel; cell part; non-connected developing system; adult; axon.
It has 74 annotated transcripts and 74 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule, C-terminal; Fibronectin type III domain; Fibronectin, type III; Immunoglobulin I-set; Immunoglobulin subtype; Immunoglobulin subtype 2; Immunoglobulin-like; Immunoglobulin-like fold.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
