dsx

The gene doublesex is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmeldsx (CG11094, FBgn0000504). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 polypeptides (3 unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:7924323..7967408. Its molecular function is described by 8 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; transcription regulator activity; protein binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 22 unique terms, many of which group under: multicellular organism development; anatomical structure development; developmental process involved in reproduction; genitalia development; nervous system development. 116 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: eo neuron; adult doublesex TN1 (male) neuron; genital disc; muscle system; nociceptive system neuron. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality; fertile; sterile; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed during early pupal stages, in adult male stages.
