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).
Comment: maternally deposited
Bx42 transcripts are present throughout development and the 1.9 kb transcript is always nearly twice as prevalent as the 2.2 kb transcript. In situ hybridization shows that the RNA is ubiquitously distributed up to embryonic stage 16.
During oogenesis, observed in nuclei of follicle cells and nurse cells. In embryos, observed in nuclei of cells at cellular blastoderm; expressed throughout embryonic development. In larval salivary glands, localized to polytene chromosomes.

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.

Embryos derived from homozygous female germline clones show disruptions in dpp target gene expression patterns.
RNAi generated by PCR using primers directed to this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.
In a sample of 79 genes with multiple introns, 33 showed significant heterogeneity in G+C content among introns of the same gene and significant positive correspondence between the intron and the third codon position G+C content within genes. These results are consistent with selection adding against preferred codons at the start of genes.
Bx42 is present in a set of transcriptionally active puffs on polytene chromosomes.
