The gene ultraspiracle is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelusp (CG4380, FBgn0003964). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 polypeptides (1 unique). Gene sequence location is X:2038798..2042311. Its molecular function is described by 12 unique terms, many of which group under: binding; protein binding; lipid binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; signaling receptor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 20 unique terms, many of which group under: response to nutrient levels; organ growth; metamorphosis; brain development; cellular response to ecdysone. 40 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: plasma membrane bounded cell projection; female organism; cell projection; neuron projection; terminal filament. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: size defective; lethal; phenotype; increased mortality during development. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages.
