AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.

In contrast to Frq2, does not interact with ric8a.

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).
Frq protein is detected at low levels in embryos, third instar larvae, and pupae, and at high levels in adults on Western blots. Immunolocalization shows that Frq protein is localized mainly to the nervous system. In late embryos, it is expressed in distinct groups of cells in the CNS and in some neurons of the PNS. In larvae and adults, it is detected mainly in synaptic regions, especially in adult brain and in larval and adult neuromuscular junctions. Staining is particularly intense in the synapses of motor nerves innervating larval or adult muscle. At higher magnification, staining is also seen in the adult brain in neuropil areas and in some cells (probably glia) in the lamina.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
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.
Frq1 encodes a novel Ca2+ binding protein, in vitro Ca2+ binds to both the third and fourth EF-hands. Frq1 is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system of embryos, larvae and adults, and is particularly enriched at the synapses. Overexpression of Frq1 at the neuromuscular junction causes enhanced frequency-dependent facilitation of neurotransmitter release.

In view of the electrophysiological T(1;Y)V7 phenotype, a frequency-dependent facilitation of neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions, the product of the gene affected by the rearrangement is referred to as "Frequenin".
