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.
A screen to identify modifiers for the Leucine aminopeptidase locates them on the X, second and third chromosomes.
Lap-A and Lap-D gene products may generate tetramers and dimers of polypeptide subunits. The gut form (LapG) may be a tetramer, in 5 forms due to different combinations of Lap-A and Lap-D subunits. The smaller LapP (pupal hemolymph form) proposed to be a dimer in three forms. Monomers may account for the more highly mobile activities.
No difference in allele fixed in lines selected over 700 generations for high (negative) and low (positive) geotaxis.
Structural gene for leucine aminopeptidase A (LAP-A), one of six such enzymes revealed by starch-gel electrophoresis. More anodally migrating than LAP-D; molecular weight 280,000 daltons; pH optimum 6.7. Enzyme apparently monomeric; no hybrid molecules formed in heterozygotes for electrophoretic variants. Appears 12 hrs after oviposition; found in larvae and pupae but not adults. Localized in larval hemolymph; not induced by substrate feeding.
Characterization of LAP genes "Lap-A" and "Lap-D" from the distribution and enzymatic activity of their proteins reveals a striking resemblance to the description of Jonah genes in 99C ("Jon99Co", "Jon99Ci", "Jon99Cii" and "Jon99Ciii") and 99F ("Jon99Fi" and "Jon99Fii") and the pattern of expression of their transcripts. At least one of the Jonah genes in 99C or 99F may correspond to "Lap-A" or "Lap-D".
