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).

moody transcript is expressed at embryonic stage 9 in the embryonic hemocyte primordium, in the posterior endoderm (posterior midgut primordium precursor), and in the longitudinal visceral muscle primordium (caudal visceral mesoderm). At stage 13, moody transcript is expressed in glial cells and in the fused midgut primordium.
moody protein is localized to the subperineurial glial cells forming the blood-brain barrier.

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 transfected with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene show defects in the formation of the blood-brain barrier. The majority of injected mutants hatch and show wild-type behaviour, although some show impaired locomotor behaviour.
A predicted GPCR called '1631' that is expressed in hemocytes from Stage 9 to Stage 11 during their migration from the cephalic mesoderm to three distinct directions within the head.
Mutants in this gene display no obvious defects in hemocyte migration.
Identification: in an over-expression screen as causing the germ cells to become super-migratory when overexpressed.
