Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
It is reported to have molecular function: antioxidant activity; superoxide dismutase activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: determination of adult lifespan; response to oxidative stress.
33 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: trichogen cell; primary pigment cell; photoreceptor cell; secondary pigment cell; adult brain.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn) / chaperones; Superoxide dismutase, copper/zinc binding domain; Superoxide dismutase, copper/zinc, binding site.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of high expression.
Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
