The gene caudal is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelcad (CG1759, FBgn0000251). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 polypeptides (2 unique). Gene sequence location is 2L:20770731..20783135. Its molecular function is described by: RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with 17 unique terms, many of which group under: gastrulation; embryo development; gastrulation involving germ band extension; regulation of antimicrobial peptide production; genital disc development. 34 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: developing embryonic structure; embryonic/larval hindgut; adult thoracic segment; periphallic sclerite; sensillum. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: phenotype; increased mortality; increased mortality during development; lethal. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages.
