AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Annotated transcripts do not represent all possible combinations of alternative exons and/or alternative promoters.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Comment: maternally deposited
Pfk transcripts are detected at a high level in early embryos, decline at mid embryogenesis, and increase to a plateau during larval stages. They decrease in abundance during pupation and increase just prior to emergence. mRNA levels rapidly decline after emergence even though Pfk enzyme activity remains high in adults.
Pfk specific activity was found to be very low during larval and early pupal stages. Activity plateaus at 24 hours posteclosion.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
Pfk is a single copy gene with a coding region that spans 6.5kb, composed of 8 exons and 7 intron. Alternate polyadenylation sites generate 3 developmentally regulated transcripts. Transcription initiation occurs at a single site.
Produces the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK). Only one electrophoretic form has been found in larvae and adults.

FlyBase curator comment: The "l(2)46Eb" complementation group is stated to correspond to Pfk in FBrf0145131, since members of this complementation group fail to complement the Pfk06339 insertion allele (the insertion in the Pfk06339 allele is within Pfk and multiple precise excisions can be obtained from this line, suggesting that the P-element insertion is responsible for the lethality of the line). However, this contradicts data from FBrf0076706 which suggests instead that the "l(2)46Fb" complementation group corresponds to Pfk. "l(2)46Fb", "l(2)46Eb" and Pfk have been kept as 3 separate genes in FlyBase until this discrepancy is resolved.

FlyBase curator comment: The "l(2)46Fb" complementation group is stated to correspond to Pfk in FBrf0076706, since animals which are heterozygous for "l(2)46Fb" mutations show an approximately 50% reduction in Pfk activity compared to wild-type controls. However, this contradicts data from FBrf0145131, which suggests instead that the "l(2)46Eb" complementation group corresponds to Pfk. "l(2)46Fb", "l(2)46Eb" and Pfk have been kept as 3 separate genes in FlyBase until this discrepancy is resolved.
