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).
Mmp2 is widely expressed in the embryonic CNS. At stage 15, it is expressed in the midline glia and in approximately three other glial cells per hemisegment (as identified by repo expression, situated at the base of the motor nerve roots. These may correspond to the exit glia. Mmp2 is also expressed in a subset of neurons in the embyronic CNS including the tup-expressing neurons.
Mmp2 is expressed in many tissues from stage 10 including the mesoderm, stomatogastric nervous system, ectoderm, and the peripheral nervous system. Starting in stage 14, it is expressed in segmentally repeated cells in the developing central nervous system. It is expressed in gut constrictions in stages 15 and 16 and in the embryonic brain by stage 17. In wandering third instar larvae, Mmp2 is expressed widely in the wing disc, less in leg disc, and abundantly in the morphogenetic furrow and in developing ommatidia. Expression occurs in discrete foci throughout the ventral nerve cord and brain lobes and is strong in the optic lobe.
Mmp2 transcripts are detected in embryos, larvae, pupae, and adult males and females by RT-PCR. They are not detected by northern blot. They are observed by in situ hybridization in third instar larval imaginal discs and brain. Strong expression is seen in the eye disc behind the morphogenetic furrow and in the lamina.
Mmp2 protein localizes to the cell membrane.

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.

Mmp2 limits long-distance wg signaling in the germarium. Mmp2 protein cleaves dlp protein in cultured cells and is expressed in the apical cells (and a few anterior escort cells) of the germarium niche. Mmp2 may act to limit wg signaling in the the germarium by cleaving dlp protein near the wg source, resulting in relocation of dlp protein from the cell surface to intracellular vesicles, such that dlp can no longer contact wg protein and promote long-range wg signaling.
