The gene caudal is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelcad (CG1759, FBgn0000251). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 polypeptides (2 unique). Gene sequence location is 2L:20770731..20783135. Its molecular function is described by: RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: genital disc development; gastrulation with mouth forming first; digestive system development; embryonic pattern specification; tube development. 34 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: excretory system; adult external head; developing material anatomical entity; melanotic mass; head capsule. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality; short lived; phenotype; visible. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
