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

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).
Expression of VGlut1 was established via single cell RNA sequencing of ScerGAL4Kurs58 or ScerGAL4c767 positive pars intercerebralis neurons. Expression was found in four out of five tested cells.
RT-PCR analysis on isolated GFP-labeled transmedullary neurons Tm5c and distal medullary amacrine neurons Dm8 found high levels of VGlut1 transcripts.
VGlut1 protein is expressed in puncta and segmentally repeated in the ventral nerve cord, labeling the glutamatergic presynaptic terminals. The marked cells include the longitudinal (interface) glial cells, where VGlut1 protein is found adjacent to ScerGAL4Eaat1.PR.
Expression of VGlut1 protein is seen extensively throughout the central nervous system of the third instar larval brain, with approximately 200 in each brain lobe and 800 in the ventral nerve cord. High VGlut1 protein expression is reported to be found within the following larval brain compartments: dorsal compartments - dorsoanterior, dorsoposterior, and centroposterior-lateral (dorsal); central compartments - centroanterior, centroposterior-lateral, centroposterior- medial, and centroposterior-intermediate; and basal compartments - centroanterior (ventral), basoanterior, basocentral, basocervical, basoposterior-lateral, and basoposterior-medial (BPM). Highest expression is found in the dorsoanterior and centroanterior compartments. Although VGlut1 protein is generally not expressed in the larval mushroom body, a small number of punctae are seen in the vertical lobes, medial lobes and the spur. Staining within the ventral nerve cord is predominantly on the dorsal and lateral surface and is largely excluded from the ventral aspect of the neuropil. In the adult brain, expression of VGlut1 but shows extensive expression in central neuropil compartments, but is predominantly absent from the mushroom body only being detectable as punctae in the base of the gamma-lobe, the tip and base of the alpha-lobe, the spur, and faintly in the calyx. Expression within the ellipsoid body is observed within its inner and outer layers, a pattern suggestive of R-cell innervation. Expression of VGlut1 is observed in three prominent layers of the medulla - two in the outer medulla, and one encompassing the inner medulla.

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.

Increasing the expression of VGlut in motorneurons results in an increase in quantal size that is accompanied by an increase in synaptic vesicle volume. Despite the increased postsynaptic response to single vesicles, the response to evoked release of vesicles is unchanged because of a compensatory downregulation of presynaptic vesicle release.
