A component of the endocytic pathway - regulates Neuroglian endocytosis during dendritic extension - regulates Discs large localization in salivary gland cells - antagonizes the function of Numb and consequently regulates asymmetric cell division

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).

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.
Nak regulates localisation of clathrin sites in higher-order dendrites to promote local dendrite growth.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Identification: Yeast two-hybrid screen for proteins that interact with numb protein.
Overexpression of Nak in the sensory organs causes both daughters of a normally asymmetric cell division to adopt the same cell fate.
Analysis of Nak indicates the protein may play a role in cell fate determination during asymmetric cell divisions.
Identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen for interactors with numb.
