AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

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).
LysP transcripts are only detected in adults on northern blots. They are detected in the salivary gland by in situ hybridization to adult sections.

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.
Lysozymes are expressed at a high level mainly in the digestive tract, they are not a component of the haemolymph. Lysozyme is not induced by bacteria so is not part of the inducible immune response but instead has been recruited for digestion of symbiotic bacteria in the stomach.
LysP has been cloned, sequenced and its developmental expression pattern analysed. The transcription levels of LysP decrease after bacterial injections into the haemocoel. The LysP gene product is therefore not induced as part of the immune response, but instead appears to have a role in the digestion of bacteria present in fermenting food.
