Drm-PK-2, pyrokinin-2, hug-γ, hugγ, pyrokinin
controls growth and metabolism - encodes at least two distinct neuropeptides; one, hug-γ, has homology to an ecdysone triggering hormone and a second, Drm-PK-2, is a pyrokinin with myostimulatory activity

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: maternally deposited
There are 20 cells of the hugin cluster which consist of four classes, whose cell bodies are arranged fairly symmetrically straddling the midline: eight project to the protocerebrum and four each project to the ventral nerve cord, the ring gland, and the anterior pharynx.
hug is expressed in approximately 20 cells of the subesophageal ganglion.
hug is expressed in the peptidergic CC-MS 1 neurons in the larval brain.
Immunolocalization of an antibody to the lepidopteran neuropeptide PBAN, which is orthologous to Hug, is colocalized with the expression of the reporter AvicGFPYFP.Hug.PM.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
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.
