Summary: Involved in several processes, including head involution; regulation of TOR signaling; and response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in border follicle cell; centripetal follicle cell; follicle cell; and wing disc. Orthologous to human DDIT4 (DNA damage inducible transcript 4) and DDIT4L (DNA damage inducible transcript 4 like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
