Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: sweet taste receptor activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: detection of maltose stimulus; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of taste; detection of sucrose stimulus; proboscis extension reflex; sensory perception of sweet taste; detection of glucose.
7 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: large labellar taste bristle.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Trehalose receptor.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very low expression to a trough of no expression detected.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
