Intestinal gene expression in different physiological conditions There is not condition-dependent expression data available for this gene.
Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: chitin binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: synapse assembly; neuromuscular synaptic transmission; regulation of synapse organization.
10 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: embryonic/first instar larval cuticle; synaptic cleft.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Chitin binding domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed within 12-18 embryonic stages, during late pupal stages.
