Ibf2

The gene Insulator binding factor 2 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol DmelIbf2 (CG9740, FBgn0037669). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has one annotated transcript and one polypeptide. Gene sequence location is 3R:9257727..9258501. Its molecular function is described by: sequence-specific DNA binding; protein binding; chromatin insulator sequence binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of chromatin silencing. 4 alleles are reported. The phenotype of these alleles manifest in: abdominal sternite 7. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: homeotic; partially lethal - majority live; viable; male sterile; short lived. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
