The gene Enhancer of zeste is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol DmelE(z) (CG6502, FBgn0000629). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 polypeptides (2 unique). Gene sequence location is 3L:10634575..10638130. Its molecular function is described by 6 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; DNA binding; nucleic acid binding; histone methyltransferase activity; catalytic activity, acting on a protein. It is involved in the biological process described with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: cellular developmental process; RNA biosynthetic process; neuron development; syncytial blastoderm mitotic cell cycle; neuroblast proliferation. 125 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: head; oocyte nucleus; abdominal segment 9; genital disc; plasma membrane bounded cell projection. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: visible; phenotype; modifier of variegation; increased mortality. 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 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
