Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
Act42A
Codes for cytoplasmic actin; transcribed throughout development; one of two actin genes transcribed in Kc cells and several other cell lines (Fyrberg, Mahaffy, Bond, and Davidson, 1983, Cell 33: 115-23). One of three actin genes expressed in the wing disc during wing development, each with its characteristic profile. Peak expression at 44h of pupal age, little or no expression at 60h rising again at 80h. 44h peak corresponds to time of maximum change in cell shape (Peterson, Bond, Mitchell, and Davidson, 1985, Dev. Genet. 5: 219-25).
