Rfabg, Lpp, RfaBp, lipophorin, ApoLII
Lipophorin - bears lipid-linked morphogens on its surface - required for long-range signaling activity of Wingless and Hedgehog - lipophorin receptors recruit the lipoprotein Lipid Transfer Particle (LTP) to the plasma membrane to mediate lipid uptake

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

Interacts with Nrx-1 (via cytoplasmic domain); the interaction supports apolpp/ApoLI protein stability.
May be modified covalently by lipidation.
Cleaved into 2 chains by furin protease. However, prevention of cleavage does not impair its function (By similarity).

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).
Comment: component of hemolymph clot
apolpp localizes to the perineurium and CNS. The protein moiety of Lpp, apolipophorin, undergoes furin dependent cleavage, generating apolipophorin I (ApoLI) and apolipophorin II (ApoLII) both of which circulate on low-density lipophorin particles in the hemolymph. Both cross the perineurium and localize to different places in the larval brain (as shown with tagged proteins).
Isolated from a pullout assay for proteins contained in clots from larval hemolymph and identified by mass spec.

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
In vitro studies reveal RfaBp gene is transcriptionally regulated by retinoic acid.
Isolated using a rat antibody from a head cDNA library.
RfaBp encodes a retinoid- and fatty-acid binding glycoprotein that is a member of the proapolipophorin gene family. RfaBp encodes a 3351 amino acid protein. The protein is initially dispersed throughout the embryonic amnioserosa sac and later concentrates at skeletal muscle epidermis apodemeal contact junctions during larval development.
lipophorin protein has been purified and characterised.
There is preliminary evidence that retinoid (vitamin A) deprivation reduces RfaBp protein levels.
Vitamin A deprivation causes a reduction in the steady state level of retinoid binding protein, RfaBp.
