The gene dorsal is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmeldl (CG6667, FBgn0260632). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 polypeptides (2 unique). Gene sequence location is 2L:17436830..17450364. Its molecular function is described by 8 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; protein binding; heterocyclic compound binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; organic cyclic compound binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 16 unique terms, many of which group under: neurogenesis; response to organic substance; response to cytokine; positive regulation of response to stimulus; positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process. 146 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: ventral nervous system; embryonic/first instar larval cuticle; neuron projection; supraesophageal ganglion neuron; external compound sense organ. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: female sterile; sterile; phenotype; lethal - all die before end of first instar larval stage; female sterile germline-dependent. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 and 18-24 hour embryonic stages.
