FBgn0002573 | sens

The gene senseless is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmelsens (CG32120, FBgn0002573). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 polypeptides (1 unique). Gene sequence location is 3L:13396228..13401125. Its molecular function is described by: bHLH transcription factor binding; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; sequence-specific DNA binding; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. It is involved in the biological process described with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription; peripheral nervous system development; chaeta development; animal organ formation; negative regulation of cell death. 63 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: posterior wing margin; tertiary pigment cell; digestive system; adult metathoracic sensillum; late extended germ band embryo. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: lethal; increased mortality during development; increased mortality; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-12 hour embryonic stages.
