Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: nerve maturation; establishment of glial blood-brain barrier; septate junction assembly; axon ensheathment.
7 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: salivary gland; trichogen cell; abdominal lateral pentascolopidial chordotonal organ lch5.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: C-type lectin; C-type lectin fold; C-type lectin-like; Fibronectin type III domain; Fibronectin, type III; Herpesvirus UL45-like; 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 very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-18 embryonic stages.
