Protein attributes

Sequence length	832 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Vital for larval development. Plays a role in tumor formation. A crucial component for the physical link between integrins and the cytoskeleton in the epidermal muscle attachment sites. Ref.5 Ref.7
Subunit structure	Interacts with the head domain of rhea and the kinase domain of Ilk.
Tissue specificity	Expressed ubiquitously in all epithelial cells during early stages of embryogenesis. Specifically expressed at epidermal muscle attachment site. Ref.5 Ref.7
Developmental stage	Expressed both maternally and zygotically throughout development. Ref.7
Disruption phenotype	Muscle detachment in late-stage-16/early-stage-17 embryos. Ref.7
Miscellaneous	'Wech' means 'detached' or 'gone' in German.
Sequence similarities	Contains 2 B box-type zinc fingers. Contains 5 NHL repeats.
Caution	Was originally termed dappled (Ref.5).
Sequence caution	The sequence AAL25460.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 591.
