Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: nicotinic acetylcholine-activated cation-selective channel activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: synaptic transmission; regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential; visual behavior; jump response. 23 alleles are reported. The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: giant fiber neuron. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel; Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel ligand-binding; Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel transmembrane domain; Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel, conserved site; Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed during late pupal stages. . |
