fru

The gene fruitless is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelfru (CG14307, FBgn0004652). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 15 annotated transcripts and 15 polypeptides (13 unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:18414273..18545586. Its molecular function is described by: nucleic acid binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 20 unique terms, many of which group under: biosynthetic process; male courtship behavior, tapping to detect pheromone; sex differentiation; copulation; animal organ development. 126 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: peripheral nervous system; neurite; larva; developing embryonic structure; adult external thorax. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: sterile; phenotype; fertile; mating defective. 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 within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, during late pupal stages, in adult male stages.
