Cardioacceleratory peptide
a conserved 9 amino acid neuropeptide - produced by 1-2 neurons in each segment of the ventral nervous system - released during the shedding of the old exoskeleton (ecdysis) - controls behavior during molting - has cardioactive functions

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

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).
CCAP transcript is detected in several pairs of neurons in the larval CNS. Expression is detected in 2 neurons in the dorsal brain, 4 in the subesophageal ganglion, one in each T1, T2 and A8 segments and 2 neurons in segments T3 to A7. Different subsets of CCAP positive ventral nerve cord neurons also express burs protein and transcript, or pburs transcript.
Comment: ~ 3 neurons at the posterior tip of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion are labeled
CCAP protein is expressed in a subset of neurons in the ventral nerve cord, including all the neurons that express ScerGAL4Ccap.PP. Some CCAP-positive neurons in neuromeres A5-A7 did not express ScerGAL4Ccap.PP. The neurites also expressed CCAP, although staining was weak in the neurites from neuromeres A1-A4.
Co-localisation of CCAP and ScerGAL4dimm-929 is observed in a subset of CCAP-positive neurons of the central nervous system.
~ 3 CCAP-positive neurons are observed in the posterior abdominal neuromere of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion.

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.
