Intestinal gene expression in different physiological conditions There is not condition-dependent expression data available for this gene.
Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sterol binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: sterol transport; ecdysteroid biosynthetic process.
9 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: mesothoracic tergum.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Immunoglobulin E-set; MD-2-related lipid-recognition.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout the pupal period.
