The gene empty spiracles is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelems (CG2988, FBgn0000576). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has one annotated transcript and one polypeptide. Gene sequence location is 3R:13901853..13904620. Its molecular function is described by: DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 14 unique terms, many of which group under: head development; segmentation; brain development; animal organ development; regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. 27 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: longitudinal connective; visceral branch primordium; embryonic/larval intercalary segment sense organ; adult thoracic segment; internal sensillum. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: visible; phenotype; increased mortality during development; increased mortality. 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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
