Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: insulin receptor binding.
There is experimental evidence for 12 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: biological regulation; regulation of growth; homeostatic process; regulation of multicellular organismal process; positive regulation of biological process; cellular component organization or biogenesis; larval feeding behavior; mating; determination of adult lifespan; carbohydrate utilization.
10 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Insulin family; Insulin, conserved site; Insulin-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed during early larval stages.
