bcd

The gene bicoid is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelcd (CG1034, FBgn0000166). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 polypeptides (all unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:6755842..6759466. Its molecular function is described by 6 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; molecular function regulator; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; transcription regulator activity; nucleic acid binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: negative regulation of protein metabolic process; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to stimulus; multi-organism reproductive process; oogenesis. 224 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: filzkorper; abdominal 5 ventral denticle belt; embryonic gnathal segment; gland; non-connected developing system. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality during development; increased mortality; sterile; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
