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: not observed in adult females or embryos
fzo is observed in primary spermatocytes, but is absent in early spermatid.
fzo protein is detected at the end of male meiosis and in early stage spermatids when mitochondrial fusion occurs.
fzo protein is associated with mitochondria in spermatids during a narrow developmental window. It is first detected in the last stages of meiosis II. In postmeiotic haploid spermatids, it is associated with aggregating mitochondria and is present at the highest levels on onion stage Nebenkerns. It is detected at lower levels on early elongation stage mitochondria.

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.

Area matching Drosophila Fzo gene, Acc. No. U95821.
At the round spermatid stage all mitochondria in each haploid spermatid fuse into two large derivatives that interweave to form the nebenkern, in fzo mutants the mitochondria aggregate but fail to fuse. The defect is specific to fusion as each unfused mitochondrion elongates normally.
