| NCBI Gene Info:Enables protein heterodimerization activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including chorion-containing eggshell formation; compound eye morphogenesis; and embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; extended germ band embryo; gastrula embryo; gut section; and ovariole. Orthologous to several human genes including ID1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 1, HLH protein) and ID4 (inhibitor of DNA binding 4, HLH protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
