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: galactosyltransferase activity.
The biological processes in which it is involved are not known.
2 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Alpha 1,4-glycosyltransferase domain; Glycosyltransferase, DXD sugar-binding motif.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages, in adult male stages.
