Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Its molecular function is unknown.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium; nucleus organization; cellularization.
10 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: cell-cell junction; stage 6 embryo; epithelial cell.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
