Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Its molecular function is unknown.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: olfactory learning; learning or memory; regulation of cell proliferation.
10 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: melanotic mass.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: CD164-related protein.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of high expression.
Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages.
