Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: myoblast fusion; somatic muscle development; skeletal muscle tissue development; muscle organ development.
9 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: pharyngeal muscle; trichogen cell; presumptive embryonic/larval muscle system; embryonic somatic muscle; embryonic myoblast; embryonic visceral muscle.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Zinc finger, C2H2; Zinc finger, C2H2-like; Zinc finger, C2H2-type/integrase, DNA-binding.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of extremely low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-12 hour embryonic stages.
