Gene or accession: CG9984
Release: 3
Missed gene
Comments: We have raised antibody against the N-terminal part of the gene
product referred to as CG9984-PA, and this antibody detects a single protein
on a immunoblot of Drosophila nuclear proteins that is approximately 60 kD.
This size is close to the predicted size, thus verifying that CG9984-PA
encodes a real protein. The protein goes by the name of NELF-D, and it is
involved in promoter proximal pausing on the hsp70 heat shock gene in
Drosophila. A manuscript describing the protein is in press in Genes and
Development (v.17, Wu et al).
