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: metal ion binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: bristle development; regulation of protein ubiquitination; regulation of synapse organization; determination of adult lifespan; compound eye development; axonogenesis.
30 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 19 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; adult segment; external compound sense organ; cell part; peripheral nervous system; adult; cell projection part; imaginal precursor; integumentary plate.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Armadillo-like helical; Armadillo-type fold; BEACH domain; PH-BEACH domain; WD40 repeat; WD40 repeat 2; WD40 repeat, conserved site; WD40 repeat, subgroup; WD40 repeat-like-containing domain; WD40-repeat-containing domain; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain; Zinc finger, FYVE-related; Zinc finger, FYVE-type; Zinc finger, FYVE/PHD-type; Zinc finger, RING/FYVE/PHD-type.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-24 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
