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).
Expression of Ilp2 in dorsomedial neurosecretory cells decreases through the three larval instars.
Transcript is expressed in two clusters of cells in the pars intercerebralis corresponding to the medial neurosecretory cell clusters (m-NSCs) from the first through third larval instars.
Transcript is detected in the embryo with low levels in the embryonic mesoderm and high signal in the midgut. During the third larval instar transcript is ubiquitously expressed in imaginal discs at a low level and a high signal is detected in seven cells in each brain hemisphere in an anterior-medial postion
Ilp2 and ScerGAL4Ilp6.PC are expressed in the same subset of stellate perineurial glial cells.
Ilp2 protein is expressed in the insulin producing cells (IPC), a subset of the dorsomedial neurosecretory cells of the pars intercerebralis and in other dorsal cells of this cluster. The IPC cells that express Ilp2 are also labeled by the expression of ScerGAL4GABA-B-R2.PR.

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.
