Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity; tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep; serotonin biosynthetic process.
5 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Aromatic amino acid hydroxylase; Aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, C-terminal; Aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, iron/copper binding site; Tryptophan 5-monooxygenase; Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
