DmKlp68D, kinesin II, KLP5, kinesin-2
cytoskeletonal motor protein - Klp64D and Klp68D are kinesin-2α kinesin-2β motor subunits of the heterotrimeric kinesin-2 - Klp64D associates with Klp68D and Kap3 - Klp64D and Klp68D play an essential role in sensory cilia assembly and axonal transport - microtubule organization in dendrites - hearing

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).
Comment: maternally deposited
Comment: rapidly degraded

Klp68D is expressed at all stages and in all tissues tested in adults (heads, male bodies, testis, female bodies, ovary). It is most abundant in heads and ovaries in 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.
polyclonal
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Molecular and biochemical properties of Klp68D suggest it may be used for anterograde axon transport and could move cargoes in neurons different to those moved by kinesin heavy chain or other plus-end directed motors.
Klp68D has been cloned, partially sequenced and its expression pattern analysed.
