kay

The gene kayak is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelkay (CG33956, FBgn0001297). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 polypeptides (all unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:29765995..29794113. Its molecular function is described by 8 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; protein binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; nucleic acid binding; heterocyclic compound binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 22 unique terms, many of which group under: regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; cellular response to stimulus; embryo development; compound eye morphogenesis; imaginal disc development. 65 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: synapse; presumptive embryonic/larval integumentary system; dendrite; embryonic head; chorionic specialization. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: locomotor behavior defective; phenotype; stress response defective; increased mortality. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in stages of adults of both sexes.
