CTCF

The gene CTCF is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol DmelCTCF (CG8591, FBgn0035769). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has one annotated transcript and one polypeptide. Gene sequence location is 3L:7353578..7356713. Its molecular function is described by 7 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; DNA binding; nucleic acid binding; sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding; transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 6 unique terms, many of which group under: segmentation; response to stimulus; negative regulation of biosynthetic process; regionalization; response to ketone. 32 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: visual system; I band; male organism; abdominal segment 4; supramolecular polymer. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: modifier of variegation; some die during P-stage; viable; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
