dSK
potassium channel - negatively regulates nociception - interacts with calmodulin, which acts as a Ca2+ sensor - regulates synaptic excitation in the visual network - postsynapse of the NMJ - contributes to photoreceptor performance by mediating sensitivity control at the first negatively regulates the acquisition of short-term memory

Stop-codon suppression (UGA) postulated; FBrf0225455.
None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.
Heterooligomer. The complex is composed of 4 channel subunits each of which binds to a calmodulin subunit which regulates the channel activity through calcium-binding (By similarity).

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
SK protein is strongly expressed in the adult lamina and medulla layers. In the lamina, is localises to the axons of the photoreceptors, the cell body of non-glutamatergic neurons, (possibly L4) and in the presynaptic active zones. In the medulla, it is detected in glutamatergic and non-glutamatergic neurons. Expression seems strongest in medulla layers M4 and M5. In the central brain, SK protein is expressed by the olfactory projection neurons that innervate the mushroom bodies.

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.
