Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: RNA polymerase II transcription cofactor activity.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to be involved in the biological process: transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter.
4 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: mesothoracic tergum.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Mediator complex, subunit Med8, fungi/metazoa.
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 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
