Intestinal gene expression in different physiological conditions
Ecc15: flies orally infected with Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15.
Pe: flies orally infected with Pseudomonas entomophila.
Pe gacA: flies orally infecte with Pseudomonas entomophila gacA.
There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity; glutamate:sodium symporter activity; L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: determination of adult lifespan; regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential involved in skeletal muscle contraction.
12 alleles are reported.
The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: neuromuscular junction; neuropil; dopaminergic neuron; adult neuromuscular junction; synapse.
It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.
Protein features are: Sodium:dicarboxylate symporter; Sodium:dicarboxylate symporter, conserved site.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression.
Peak expression observed during late pupal stages.
