Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: positive regulation of caspase activity; microtubule bundle formation; neuron remodeling; bristle morphogenesis; regulation of cytoskeleton organization; sensory organ precursor cell division; maintenance of epithelial integrity, open tracheal system; cell morphogenesis; actin filament organization; cell death.
28 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 13 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system subdivision; organ system; adult segment; external compound sense organ; cell part; eo support cell; organelle; humeral trabecule; late extended germ band embryo; integumentary plate.
It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Protein kinase, ATP binding site; Protein kinase, catalytic domain; Protein kinase-like domain; Serine/threonine-protein kinase-like domain.
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 00-12 hour embryonic stages, during early pupal stages, in adult female stages.
