The gene Axin is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Axn (CG7926, FBgn0026597). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: beta-catenin binding; protein kinase binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: imaginal disc pattern formation; heart development; eye-antennal disc morphogenesis; somatic stem cell maintenance; negative regulation of Wnt receptor signaling pathway; oogenesis; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; Wnt receptor signaling pathway; phagocytosis, engulfment. 43 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; organ system subdivision; adult segment; portion of tissue; thoracic segment; adult; indirect flight muscle; tracheal system; acellular anatomical structure; external compound sense organ. It has 7 annotated transcripts and 7 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Axin beta-catenin binding; DIX domain; Regulator of G protein signalling; Regulator of G protein signalling superfamily; Regulator of G-protein signaling, domain 1. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, larval hindgut, larval trachea, adult ovary, larval carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1632134_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 5 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of Axn. Gene sequence location is 3R:25848564..25861033.
