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).
nompC is expressed in ciliated mechanosensory organs including microchaetes, macrochaetes, and bristles on the proboscis. It is also expressed in proprioceptive organs including chordotonal organs of the haltere, the leg joints, and Johnston's organ.
Expression of nompC is seen as a dot at the base of each mechanosensory bristle of the abdominal cuticle. Ultrastructurally, it is localized at the apical tip of the dendritic cilia in tactile bristles. Expression of nompC in the scolopidia of the Johnston's organ is concentrated in the distal tip of the cilia in each Johnston's organ scolopidium, specifically in the region enclosed by the cap.

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.

nompC encodes an ion channel that is essential for mechanosensory transduction.
Loss of function mutants of nompC virtually abolish mechanosensory signalling.
Bristle recordings of mutant flies show almost complete loss of mechanoreceptor potential (MRP). Mutations cause adult inviability due to severe uncoordination.
