AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Gene model reviewed during 5.50
There is only one protein coding transcript and one polypeptide associated with this gene
Component of the NTC(Nineteen)/Prp19 complex composed of at least fand, Prp19,CG9667/ISY1 and Cdc5/CDC5L. Within the complex, interacts with Prp19 and ISY1/CG9667.

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.
polyclonal
Splicing of early zygotic, but not maternally encoded pre-mRNAs is affected in mutant embryos.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
fand is essential for nerve cell migration and the establishment of axonal pathways in the developing nervous system.
The 'faint sausage (fas)' phenotype, previously associated the immunoglobulin domain protein CG17716 (Lekven et al, 1998; FBrf0103312), is now shown to be caused by mutations in CG6197, also known as 'fand' (Guilgur et al, 2014; FBrf0224810).
Not allelic to shot.
Source for identity of: fand CG6197
FlyBase curator comment: Based on their findings, Sauerwald et al, 2017 (FBrf0234822) refer to the CG6197/fand gene as 'fas'. However, given the history, it would likely be confusing to effectively transfer the 'fas/faint sausage' nomenclature from the CG17716 gene to the fand/CG6197 gene in FlyBase. Thus, FlyBase has: (i) retained 'fand/fandango' as the FlyBase symbol/name of CG6197 (based on FBrf0224810), but added 'fas/faint sausage' as synonyms (based on FBrf0234822); and (ii) reverted the current 'fas/faint sausage' gene to just have 'CG17716' as its FlyBase symbol (at least until it is given a more appropriate symbol/name), while retaining 'fas/faint sausage' as synonyms.
The gene is named "fandango", after the Iberian folk dance, based on the phenotype of mutant embryos.
