The gene homothorax is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelhth (CG17117, FBgn0001235). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 polypeptides (4 unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:10507561..10639568. Its molecular function is described by 9 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; molecular function regulator; protein binding; transcription regulator activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 27 unique terms, many of which group under: post-embryonic animal organ morphogenesis; segmentation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; body morphogenesis; specification of segmental identity, antennal segment. 93 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: late embryo; bract; abdominal tergite 3; periphallic sclerite; embryonic/larval excretory system. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: phenotype; viable; some die during larval stage; 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 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages.
