AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Annotated transcripts do not represent all possible combinations of alternative exons and/or alternative promoters.

Comment: reported as posterior spiracle specific anlage
kkv is expressed in pupal wings and adult wings. Levels peak in 2 day pupae and the lowest levels are seen before eclosion.

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.

kkv is essential for procuticle integrity.
Zygotically active locus involved in the terminal developmental program in the embryo.
The gene is named after the phenotype of mutant embryos; the head skeleton is strongly reduced and deformed - "krotzkopf" is German for "scrambled head" and in rare cases, hyperactive embryos (which try to hatch but are unable to tear up the vitelline membrane) turn around in the egg case - "verkehrt" is German for "inverted".
Mutants named 'blimp' for the extreme ballooning of the embryos when squashed under coverslips in the course of doing cuticle preparations.
