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: Thorax and abdomen assayed together. Bands of 1.4 and 2.2kb detected.

SerT-mRNA expression resembles the distribution pattern of serotonin in the larval and adult CNS.
Embryonic expression of SerT mRNA in the ventral nerve cord is observed in two serotonergic neurons per hemisegment.
SerT transcripts are detected in RNA from adult heads but not in RNA from embryos or adult bodies.
SerT transcripts are detected in a restricted number of cell bodies in the ventral ganglion and the brain in late embryos. The cell bodies are just ventral to the neuropil and are generally clustered. Each suboesophageal hemiganglion contains three positive cell bodies. Each thoracic and abdominal hemiganglion contains two stained cell bodies, except A8, which contains a single stained cell body.

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.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
Based on an alignment of the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA clone from FBrf0072947 and FBrf0068457 the two cDNA's represent the same gene.
The nucleotide sequence from FBrf0072947 and FBrf0068457, encoding a functional fly Serotonin like transporter, are identical.
