Drok, ROCK, Rho-associated kinase, DRho-kinase, ROCK1
Rho-kinase - plays a role in planar cell polarity - required for tissue morphogenesis in diverse compartments of the egg chamber during oogenesis - directs Bazooka/Par-3 planar polarity during Drosophila axis elongation

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).
Rok transcripts are widely distributed in embryos and are uniformly distributed in imaginal discs from third instar larvae.

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.
