Protein
Protein odd-skipped
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Pair-rule protein that determines both the size and polarity of even-numbered as well as odd-numbered parasegments during embryogenesis. DNA-binding transcription factor that acts primarily as a transcriptional repressor but can also function as a transcriptional activator, depending on the stage of development and spatial restrictions. May function redundantly with odd and drm in leg joint formation during the larval stages, acting downstream of Notch activation.
Similarity
Belongs to the Odd C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
