Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene chico is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\chico (CG5686, FBgn0024248). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: insulin-like growth factor receptor binding. There is experimental evidence for 13 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: biological regulation; multicellular organism reproduction; cellular component organization or biogenesis; growth; response to stress; developmental growth; gamete generation; male germ-line stem cell division; response to nutrient levels; aging. 17 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; multicellular structure; organ system subdivision; adult; external compound sense organ; adult segment; portion of tissue; thoracic segment; synapse; tracheal system. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Insulin receptor substrate-1, PTB; Pleckstrin homology domain; Pleckstrin homology-type. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 12-24 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1631374_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of chico. Gene sequence location is 2L:10242512..10247064.

chico plays an important role in spermatogenesis, by stimulating germline stem cell proliferation and spermatocyte growth.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene, when combined with Rheb, raptor, S6k, Pk61C, or Pten dsRNA, inhibits the phosphorylation of Akt1 in S2 cells.
Removal of foxo accelerates the cell cycle at the expense of cell size in a chico background.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
chico function is needed for vitellogenesis and to accelerate the rate of follicle cell proliferation within the entire lineage, in response to rich food.
Plays an essential role in the control of cell size and growth.
Animals mutant for chico are less than half the size of wild-type flies owing to fewer and smaller cells.
An insulin receptor substrate.
Heteroallelic InR mutants and chico mutants exhibit impaired imaginal disc growth, resulting in the generation of small flies.
Null alleles of chico are semi-viable, but the flies develop slower than sibling controls and have a reduced body size. chico mutant cells differentiate normally but are significantly reduced in size.
chico is required cell-autonomously in wing and eye imaginal discs. chico interacts strongly with mutations in InR and also with lines overexpressing dominant negative Pi3K92E, thus implying that chico functions in the insulin pathway for cell growth.
Designation as "flipper" was a symbol misassignment.
