Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)

*apb: apterblister

Wings always notched, nearly always spread, and usually blistered but expression somewhat variable. Homozygous imagos live less than 24 hr, owing to intestinal obstructions. Abdomens characteristically turn dark grey before death because of accumulation of digested food products. Although not at same locus as ap, apb +/+ ap4, flies show slight notching of wings and many die within a day; those that survive are fertile. ap5 gives a similar heterozygous effect. RK2.

Expression Data

Testis-specificity index

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).
