belongs to a subgroup of serine protease homologues with an inactive catalytic site - functions extracellularly during dorsal closure as an antagonist of the JNK pathway - regulates the polarized localization of laminin A during the development of epithelial polarity

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

The CLIP domain consists of 37-55 residues which are 'knitted' together usually by 3 conserved disulfide bonds forming a clip-like compact structure.

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).
scaf is strongly expressed in the leading edge during dorsal closure. It is also detected in some cells of the amnioserosa and in the ventral ectoderm.

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.

The gene is named "scarface" based on the phenotype of homozygous adult escapers, which have what appears to be "scarring" around the mouthparts.
