Predicted to enable NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase activity. Involved in several processes, including olfactory behavior; pupariation; and steroid biosynthetic process. Is active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; nurse cell; ovary; prothoracic gland; and ring gland. Orthologous to human FDXR (ferredoxin reductase).
FB Description
defective in the avoidance of repellents (dare) encodes an enzyme associated with steroid hormone synthesis and required for normal olfactory behavior. Some mutants show widespread degeneration of adult nervous system.
