The gene brain-specific homeobox is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelsh (CG10604, FBgn0000529). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 polypeptides (1 unique). Gene sequence location is 2L:19765776..19769067. Its molecular function is described by: RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; neuron fate commitment; brain development. 17 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: medullary intrinsic neuron Mi1; lamina monopolar neuron L3; lamina monopolar neuron L4; transmedullary neuron; wing. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: viable; partially lethal; visible; neuroanatomy defective. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of no expression detected. Peak expression observed during early pupal stages.
