Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: mRNA binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: oocyte anterior/posterior axis specification; oocyte nucleus migration involved in oocyte dorsal/ventral axis specification; epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; regulation of pole plasm oskar mRNA localization; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; oocyte dorsal/ventral axis specification.
16 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: egg; egg chamber; oocyte nucleus; dorsal appendage.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Nucleotide-binding, alpha-beta plait; RNA recognition motif domain; RNA-binding motif protein 8.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
