ortholog of the human Wnt inhibitory factor - required for Hh stability and for lipid-modified Hh diffusion - colocalizes with Hh in the extracellular matrix and interacts with the heparan sulfate proteoglycans

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).
shf transcript is expressed in the wing disc in parts of the presumptive notum, and in the anterior and posterior edges of the wing pouch.
shf protein has a distribution similar to that of shf transcript, and is localized to parts of the presumptive notum, to the presumptive wing hinge, and to the anterior and posterior edges of the wing pouch. The wing pouch expression is stronger at the anterior- and posterior-most edges, and more pronounced in the posterior compartment. Immunoreactivity appears to be associated with the cell surface.

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.
Mutants display hyperplastic phenotype, with tissue overgrowth in mitotic recombination clones.
Mutations in shf cause extra longitudinal or transverse veins with plexated vein phenotypes. kn, fu and shf act synergistically against Px, px, net, dsr and emc.
