EcR

The gene Ecdysone receptor is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol DmelEcR (CG1765, FBgn0000546). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 polypeptides (3 unique). Gene sequence location is 2R:6087873..6169087. Its molecular function is described by 16 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein binding; steroid binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 51 unique terms, many of which group under: embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching; cuticle development; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; peripheral nervous system development; multicellular organism aging. 160 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: plasma membrane bounded cell projection; midgut primordium; neuromuscular junction; external encapsulating structure; dendritic tree. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: cell death defective; phenotype; visible; size defective. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages.
