Clathrin triskelions, composed of 3 heavy chains and 3 light chains, are the basic subunits of the clathrin coat (By similarity). Interacts with sau (PubMed:24786584).
The C-terminal third of the heavy chains forms the hub of the triskelion. This region contains the trimerization domain and the light-chain binding domain involved in the assembly of the clathrin lattice.
The N-terminal seven-bladed beta-propeller is formed by WD40-like repeats, and projects inward from the polyhedral outer clathrin coat. It constitutes a major protein-protein interaction node (By similarity).

Chc transcripts are found in all cells during embryogenesis but are upregulated in gut, salivary gland, the tracheal system, and epidermis in the second half of embryogenesis. In late embryogenesis, strong expression is observed in CNS, leading edge cells, and garland cells. In third instar larvae, Chc is highly expressed in imaginal discs (including wing and eye discs), garland cells, fat body, ring gland, and salivary glands.
Chc transcripts have been detected in adult RNA.
Chc vesicles are apically enriched in cells of tubular organs in embryos, such as the gut and trachea.

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 GBrowse 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.

FlyBase curator comment: the insertion in the "e03916" Exelixis line (PBac{RB}CG32582e03916) was originally assigned to the Chc gene in FBrf0179797, resulting in the "Chce03916" (FBal0160701) allele. However, FBrf0184340 shows that the insertion is actually within CG32582.
