Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: cuticle hydrocarbon biosynthetic process; regulation of lipid metabolic process; pheromone biosynthetic process; male mating behavior; regulation of autophagy.
76 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: fat body.
It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Fatty acid desaturase, type 1; Fatty acid desaturase, type 1, core.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
