    Summary
    Involved in compound eye photoreceptor fate commitment; imaginal disc-derived wing vein morphogenesis; and larval somatic muscle development. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior endoderm; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; eye disc morphogenetic furrow; and posterior endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome and mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to human ASTE1 (asteroid homolog 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
