Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: integrin binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: cell adhesion mediated by integrin.
14 alleles are reported.
The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: embryonic/larval tracheal system.
It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Phosphotyrosine interaction domain; Pleckstrin homology-type; Protein of unknown function DUF3350; Rab-GAP/TBC 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 12-24 hour embryonic stages, during late pupal stages, in adult male stages.
