pnt

The gene pointed is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelpnt (CG17077, FBgn0003118). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 polypeptides (all unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:23290231..23346167. Its molecular function is described by: sequence-specific DNA binding; protein binding; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with 40 unique terms, many of which group under: hemocyte differentiation; regulation of cardioblast cell fate specification; muscle cell development; response to chemical; oenocyte differentiation. 128 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: wing; plasma membrane bounded cell projection; organelle; melanotic mass; antennal segment. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: lethal; phenotype; increased mortality during development; cell number defective. 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 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
