a5 transcripts are detected in RNA made from appendages but not head or body. They are restricted to a few scattered sensilla on the posterior surface of the antenna that are probably coeloconic sensilla.

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.
Source for identity of: a5 CG5430
a5 is one of seven clones that have been identified from subtracted cDNA libraries, containing antennal cDNA from which head cDNAs have been subtracted. The protein is expressed in subsets of olfactory hairs and have a putative signal peptide at the amino terminus. a5 protein is highly similar both to vertebrate brain proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands and to yeast and nematode proteins.
