Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: low-density lipoprotein receptor activity.
The biological processes in which it is involved are not known.
48 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: lipid droplet.
It has 7 annotated transcripts and 7 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: EGF-like calcium-binding; EGF-like calcium-binding, conserved site; EGF-like region, conserved site; EGF-type aspartate/asparagine hydroxylation site; Epidermal growth factor-like; Epidermal growth factor-like, type 3; LDLR class B repeat; Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeat; Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A, conserved site; Six-bladed beta-propeller, TolB-like.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during late pupal stages, in stages of adults of both sexes.
