The gene Catecholamines up is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Catsup (CG10449, FBgn0002022). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: enzyme regulator activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of catecholamine metabolic process; ovarian nurse cell to oocyte transport; border follicle cell migration; regulation of epithelial cell migration, open tracheal system. 65 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; multicellular structure; acellular anatomical structure; organ system subdivision; adult segment; sense organ; adult; tracheal system; embryonic/larval hemocoel; adult cuticle; external compound sense organ. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Zinc/iron permease. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderately high expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: High or moderate levels of expression observed in all larval and adult organs/tissues. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult midgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, larval fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult spermathecae, adult male accessory gland. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval midgut, larval/adult hindgut, adult heart, adult fat body, adult ovary, adult testis, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1627458_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of Catsup. Gene sequence location is 2L:19041862..19043614.

Catsup protein is present in a punctate pattern in the cell body, axonal and dendritic synapses of neurons in the central brain. Colocalisation of Catsup protein with ple protein, or Scer\GAL4ple.PF indicates that many of these neurons are dopaminergic. Expression of Catsup protein in the synapses is indicated by coexpression with Vmat protein.

Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult midgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, larval fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult spermathecae, adult male accessory gland.

Catsup mutants have significantly elevated ple enzyme activity that may arise from a post-translational modification of the ple enzyme. The hyperactivation of ple enzyme results in abnormally high levels of catecholamines, which can account for the lethality, visible phenotypes and female sterility observed in the mutants.
Mutations in Catsup exhibit morphological defects of the cuticle. Catsup is essential for catecholamine metabolism in cuticle formation. Null and weak alleles of Catsup are semidominant larval lethal that produce variable and pleiotropic phenotypes including promiscuous melanisation of the salivary and lymph glands, extensive regions of incomplete epicuticle development and formation of large melanotic tumours.
