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; endoribonuclease activity; siRNA binding.
There is experimental evidence for 14 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: biological regulation; gene silencing; cellular component organization or biogenesis; localization; programmed cell death; anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis; immune system process; pole cell development; embryonic pattern specification; gland morphogenesis; RNA interference; cell death.
39 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: pole cell; condensed chromosome; pole bud.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Argonaute/Dicer protein, PAZ; Domain of unknown function DUF1785; Ribonuclease H-like; Stem cell self-renewal protein Piwi.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderately high expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages.
