Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (isomerizing) activity.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it is involved in the biological process: carbohydrate biosynthetic process.
4 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Glucosamine-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase, isomerising; Glutamine amidotransferase, class-II; Glutamine amidotransferase, type II; Sugar isomerase (SIS).
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
