ala, Ethanolamine kinase
ethanolamine kinase - catalyzes the first step of the synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine, one of the three major membrane phospholipids - a behavioral mutant that belongs to a family of bang-sensitive paralytic mutants - required in mushroom body neuroblasts to allow a rapid rate of cell division at metamorphosis

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).

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.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Mutants lack either alpha lobes or beta lobes of the mushroom body. Gamma lobes are normal. Learning and memory are normal.
At temperatures ranging from 20oC to 37.5oC temperature sensitive mutants exhibit no effect on the heart rate of larvae.
The eas bang sensitivity is due to an excitability defect caused by altered membrane lipid composition.
