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).

Fractionation results show that Rop protein is primarily in the cytosol but it is also peripherally associated with the plasma membrane.
Rop protein is detected throughout the embryo at low levels until stage 13, after which is appears at higher levels in some tissues. These include the epidermis, garland cells, gut, Malpighian tubules, salivary glands, and eventually in the axon tracts of the CNS and in the segmental and intersegmental nerves. In third instar larvae, Rop protein is found at high levels in the neuropil of the CNS, in the axon bundles and in their synapse rich termini (boutons). It is most abundant in the periphery of the boutons. Rop protein is observed at lower levels in the imaginal discs and muscles.

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.

dsRNA directed against this gene causes defects in cytokinesis when tested in an RNAi screen in S2 cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
The Rop gene product plays a role in general secretion and is required for exocytosis from a variety of secretory tissues.
Rop is a member of the "Sec1" family of proteins involved in synaptic transmission and general secretion.
The Rop protein plays a negative role in neurotransmitter release, in addition to its previously identified positive function possible by modulation of docking of synaptic vesicles or activation of a pre-fusion complex at the active zone.
Rop plays a positive role in synaptic transmission and functions in both secretion and neurotransmission.
A 3-5 fold induction of Rop protein in third instar larvae causes a dramatic decrease in neurotransmitter release. The number of spontaneous vesicle fusions is reduced by more than 50%, though calcium dependence of neurotransmitter release is not significantly altered.
Rop plays a negative role in neurotransmitter release in vivo possibly by modulating the docking of synaptic vesicles or activation of a pre-fusion complex at the active zone.
