The gene giant is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelgt (CG7952, FBgn0001150). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has one annotated transcript and one polypeptide. Gene sequence location is X:2427113..2428967. Its molecular function is described by: DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 12 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; pattern specification process; animal organ development; regulation of anatomical structure size; negative regulation of developmental growth. 96 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: stage 14 embryo; wing; embryonic head segment; embryonic abdominal segment 5; embryonic abdominal segment 6. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality during development; phenotype; lethal; visible. 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 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
