corto

The gene corto is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelcorto (CG2530, FBgn0010313). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 polypeptides (1 unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:5077779..5087072. Its molecular function is described by: protein homodimerization activity; chromatin binding; identical protein binding; protein binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification; regulation of gene expression; chromatin silencing; mitotic chromosome condensation; epithelium development. 34 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: adult antennal segment; larval head; larval mesothoracic segment; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval salivary gland. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality; increased mortality during development; phenotype; viable. 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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
