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).

During embryonic stage 10, most if not all ventral nerve cord neuroblasts express nerfin-1 transcripts, albeit at varying levels. Signals are higher in MP2 neurons than in surrounding neuroblasts. By stage 13, it is expressed in secondary PNS precursor cells and in nascent neurons of the CNS. Expression in the new born neurons is short-lived and declines significantly by late stage 14.
During embryonic stage 10, nerfin-1 protein expression is only observed in a single neuroblast per hemisegment, that being MP2. By stage 13, it is also expressed in most secondary PNS precursor cells and in nascent neurons of the CNS. Expression in the new born neurons is short-lived and declines significantly by late stage 14.

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.
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of nerfin-1 causes an increase in class I da neurons. Class I neurons from nerfin-1(RNAi)-treated embryos extend mostly unbranched dendrites and the routing pattern of these dendrites often appears abnormal. RNAi also causes alterations in the number of MD neurons and defects in dendrite morphogenesis.
nerfin-1 expression is both spatially and temporally dynamic during neuroblast lineage development.
