The gene Accessory gland protein 29AB is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Acp29AB (CG17797, FBgn0015583). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: galactose binding; carbohydrate binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: sperm competition; multicellular organism reproduction; sperm storage. 45 alleles are reported. The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: trichogen cell. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: C-type lectin; C-type lectin fold; C-type lectin-like. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of no expression detected. Peak expression observed in adult male stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult male accessory gland. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1624840_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of Acp29AB. Gene sequence location is 2L:8392456..8393222.

If females remate frequently relative to the duration of sperm storage and rate of sperm use, sperm displacement may be an important component of male reproductive success. Significant association has been found between Acp29AB mutant male sperm and the ability to resist displacement by subsequent sperm. There is no correlation between the ability to displace resident sperm and the ability to resist being displaced by subsequent sperm, this lack of correlation suggests that different mechanisms mediate that the two components of sperm displacement.
Natural genetic variation in male reproductive genes contributes to nontransitivity of sperm competitive ability in Drosophila melanogaster. [FBrf0220937]
