Comment: maternally deposited
The multivesicular bodies in which hk protein is detected are a component of the general endocytic compartment. In embryos, cortical areas of cells stain for hk protein in a punctate pattern. In the oocyte, a similar cortical localization is detected, while in the nurse cell, staining is even throughout the cytoplasm.
The hk protein is detected in all developmental stages, from the embryo to the adult.

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 GBrowse 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
Source for identity of: hook hk
Renamed from 'hk' to 'hook' to reduce confusion with the 'Hk' ('Hyperkinetic') gene symbol, from which it differed only by case.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
hk is required for the normal endocytic trafficking of different classes of ligands.
hk is required late in endocytic trafficking to negatively regulate delivery from mature multivesicular bodies to multilammelar late endosomes and lysosomes.
Mutants do not exhibit defects in the denticle belt of hairs of the larvae.
Located between coordinates -85.2 and -82.5.
