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).
Gld transcript levels increase upon treatment with an exogenous source of ecdysterone. This can be reversed in ecd1 larvae, no increase in Gld mRNA levels is seen. Ecdysterone-responsiveness competence is gained by Gld during the third instar. Premature exposure of wild type mid-third instar larvae to ecdysterone results in the rapid accumulation of Gld transcripts.
The level of Gld transcripts rises 3- to 4-fold in late third instar larvae then declines rapidly. Transcripts are abundant in pupal stages 6-13 and in adult males. The larval transcript is found only in the integument and the male transcript is localized predominantly in the ejaculatory ducts.
Gld enzyme activity is present in late third instar larvae, pupae, and adult males The greatest levels are observed in late pupae and adults.

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.
Gld is required for normal sperm storage and utilisation in female D.melanogaster.
Interactions among proximal promoter elements and a cluster of intronically located enhancers and silencers specify the complex regulation of Gld.
Site directed mutagenesis and transgenic analysis demonstrates that the palindrome in the Gld promoter region is both necessary and sufficient for expression in the anterior spiracular gland whereas the palindromic sequence is sufficient for expression in the ejaculatory bulb.
Ecdysteroid-regulated gene.
Protein encoded is member of GMC oxidoreductase family of flavoproteins.
Enzyme transferred from males to females during copulation. Lethality of null alleles in the pupal stage observed; Gld null flies can be rescued by pre-eclosion excision of pupal operculum.
Misregulation of sex-determination genes during development has been shown to effect the expression of Gld.
D.melanogaster Gld, Dpse\Gld and Dvir\Gld have been cloned and sequenced and compared with each other. The exon/intron structure is conserved in the three species.
