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.
Gene model reviewed during 5.49
None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.
N-glycosylated.
The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.

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).

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.
Gene expression is increased in response to the presence of two copies of Scer\GAL4hs.PB.
egr is a physiological ligand for the JNK pathway.
egr can induce inhibitor-of-apoptosis (IAP)-sensitive cell death through the activation of the JNK pathway.
Source for merge of: egr BcDNA:RH51659
scaRNA:46E3 is located in intron of egr, on the opposite strand.
Source for identity of eiger CG12919 was sequence comparison ( date:020710 ).
Source for merge of egr BcDNA:RH51659 was a shared cDNA ( date:030728 ).

"eiger" stands for EDA-like cell death trigger.
The protein is named "Eiger", in memory of the numerous mountaineers that have been killed by the Eiger Nordwand, the "wall of death".
