D-Ptx1
paired-like homeobox transcription factor -defines enteroendocrine cells (EEs) in the intestinal epithelium - functions in the midgut in global and regional interstitial stem cell regulation - regulates development of early mesoderm< - differentiates posterior from anterior lateral mesoderm

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).

The earliest expression of Ptx1 is detected at the cellular blastoderm stage, and expression persists throughout embryonic development.
Ptx1 expression persists throughout embryonic development, with high levels of expression in the developing midgut and the central nervous system. Later in devlopment, highlevels of expression are detected in the ventral muscles.

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.
polyclonal
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of Ptx1 disrupts the dendritic routing patterns of the ddaD and ddaE neurons, resulting in aberrantly oriented primary dendrites. RNAi also causes defects in dendrite morphogenesis.
Ptx1 has been cloned and characterised.
