The gene extra macrochaetae is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelemc (CG1007, FBgn0000575). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has one annotated transcript and one polypeptide. Gene sequence location is 3L:749400..753492. Its molecular function is described by: protein heterodimerization activity; transcription corepressor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 21 unique terms, many of which group under: heterocycle biosynthetic process; heterocycle metabolic process; digestive system development; embryo development; negative regulation of binding. 120 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: gastrula embryo; female germline cyst; spiracular chamber; external encapsulating structure; cell projection. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: increased mortality; increased mortality during development; lethal; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages.
