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: Transcripts encoding both Vmat protein isoforms are expressed: isoform A (Vmat-RC,RE and RF) and B (Vmat-RD).
Vmat is expressed in the H-cell and in three VUM neurons.
An isoform of Vmat with a retained 3' intron is expressed in a layer between the retina and the lamina in the adult brain.
Expression assayed at stages 9, 11, 13, and 17. Expression may be continuous between assayed stages in some tissues.
Transcripts encoding both Vmat protein isoforms are detected in clusters of cells in the embryonic ventral nerve cord. These include unpaired neurons at the midline of each segment, bilateral cells dorsal and posterior to each of these unpaired neurons, and more dorsally located cells.

Vmat labels the fenestrated glia layer located between the lamina and the retina.
Vmat protein is present in a punctate pattern in the cell body, and in the synapses of the cell processes of neurons in the central brain.
An antibody directed against an isoform of Vmat containing a retained 3' intron detects expressed in a thin layer between the retina and the lamina in the adult brain.
Vmat protein is detected in a subset of the neurons in the dorsomedial (DM) and dorsolateral (DL1) dopaminergic clusters. Expression is also detected in a large number of dopaminergic neurons in the medulla. Vmat protein localises to a lateral protocerebrum serotonergic cluster, that projects to the medulla, lobula and lamina. In the medulla, expression is detected in medulla layers M1, M2, M4, M8-M10; it does not colocalise with the terminals of the photoreceptors R7 and R8 or the monopolar cells L1 and L2. In the central brain, Vmat protein is expressed in the serotonergic neurons that innervate the fan-shaped body.
Vmat protein isoform A (Vmat-PC,PE and PF) is detected in clusters of cells in the embryonic and larval ventral nerve cord. These include unpaired neurons at the midline of each segment, bilateral cells dorsal and posterior to each of these unpaired neurons, and more dorsally located cells. Expression of Vmat-A isoform is also detected in clusters of serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons in the larval brain.

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.
