| NCBI Gene Info:This gene is the ortholog of a Drosophila gene implicated in the determination of male sexual behavior and other functions. In both Drosophila and Nasonia, this gene expresses alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms, most of which contain a broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a- brac (BTB) domain, and end with one of several C2H2 zinc finger domains. Different transcripts are expressed in a sex-specific or non-sex-specific manner. An additional transcript spanning the upstream Nvu1 gene and this locus is also expressed, and is represented as a read-through transcript (GeneID: 100302651). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009] |
