The gene Medea is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Med (CG1775, FBgn0011655). It has the cytological map location 100C7-100D1. Its sequence location is 3R:27436770..27441478. Its molecular function is described as: protein binding; DNA binding; transforming growth factor beta receptor, common-partner cytoplasmic mediator activity; RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity; transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological processes described with 15 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; regulation of developmental process; organ morphogenesis; enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway; cell proliferation; cell division; transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; neuron differentiation; dorsal/ventral axis specification; regulation of metabolic process. 45 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 39 unique terms, many of which group under: organ system; adult segment; thoracic segment; adult mesothoracic segment; nervous system; imaginal precursor; appendage segment; germarium; adult brain; peripheral nervous system. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
l(3)SG70
Homozygous larvae contain rudimentary imaginal discs, but disc primordia do not grow during larval development; testes and ovaries smaller than normal, and cell number in central nervous system reduced. Mutant gonads do not survive metamorphosis when implanted into wild-type larvae. Homozygous cuticular clones appear to develop normally, but with reduced frequency and size compared to control clones. Mutant larvae support growth of implanted wild-type discs. Normal gene product postulated to be required for cell proliferation; survival of somatic epidermal clones attributed to perdurance. Larval ganglion mitoses exhibit weak effect on chromosome condensation as well as chromosome breakage (Gatti and Baker, 1989, Genes Dev. 3: 438-53); salivary chromosomes appear normal.
