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

On northern blots, Tig transcripts are first detected at 6-8hrs, peak at 12-14hrs and decline to a low level by the end embryogenesis. A second peak occurs in the late 2nd instar larval to early third instar larval period. By in situ hybridization, transcripts are first detected in hemocytes at stage 12. By stage 14, they are seen in hemocytes throughout the embryo and in fat body.

Isolated from a pullout assay for proteins contained in clots from larval hemolymph and identified by mass spec.
Tig protein is first detected in 8-10hr embryos on western blots. Levels continue to increase throughout embryogenesis. Tig protein is found throughout the larval stages with a peak at 3rd instar. Levels drop markedly at pupation and remain low in pupae and adults. In embryos, Tig protein is detected in hemocytes and fat body by immunolocalization. It accumulates generally in basement membrane and is found at segmental furrows, at sites where muscle apodemes form, and later, at muscle-epidermis attachment sites. Ventral nerve cord commissures are also stained. In larval musculature, Tig protein is most prominent at the muscle-epidermal attachment sites and is also present in ECM surrounding somatic muscles and in basement membrane underlying the epidermis. In adults, it is found at the Z bands of striated jump muscle.

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.
