G-protein coupled receptor - required in Fruitless plus neurons for post-mating switch in female reproductive behaviour - acts in a small subset of internal sensory neurons that innervate the female uterus and oviduct - these neurons project to regions of the central nervous system that have been implicated in the control of reproductive behaviors

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).
SPR protein is detected in 8 neurons on the female lateral oviduct and uterus. These neurons co-express ScerGAL4fru.P1.D.
SPR protein is detected in the spermathecum and lower oviduct. In adult females, staining is observed in the brain and ventral nerve cord, particularly in the subesophageal ganglion, cervical ganglion, and in many nerve roots.

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.
