Gene

bab2

Species
Drosophila melanogaster
Symbol
bab2
Name
bric a brac 2
Synonyms
  • bab
  • BAB
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables minor groove of adenine-thymine-rich DNA binding activity. Involved in female gonad morphogenesis; imaginal disc morphogenesis; and regulation of stem cell differentiation. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut section; imaginal disc; tarsal segment; and visceral trunk mesoderm derivative.
FB Description
bric a brac 2 (bab2) encodes a transcriptional regulator that functions partially redundantly with the product of bab1. It is part of the conserved proximal-distal gene regulatory network module. It contributes to pattern formation, ovary morphogenesis, abdominal pigmentation and olfactory receptor neuron fate diversity.
