Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: metal ion transmembrane transporter activity.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: transmembrane transport; metal ion transport.
2 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Zinc/iron permease.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-18 embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period.
