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: growth cones
robo3 is expressed specifically and transiently in photoreceptor R8 growth cones. robo3 is expressed in third instar larval R8 growth cones as they enter the optic lobe, displays a graded pattern of staining with decreased staining in axons extending further toward their final layer, and is downregulated shortly after the R8 axons enter the medulla neuropil. However, residual robo3 staining is observed in the growth cones of other optic lobe neurons that project into more proximal regions of the developing medulla neuropil.
robo3 is observed in the embryonic gonad.
Staining of robo3 was detected in the embryonic central nervous system but no staining was observed in the periphery.

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.
monoclonal
The lateral positioning of longitudinal axon pathways in the embryo relies primarily on differences in robo gene regulation, not on distinct combinations of the three robo proteins (robo, lea and robo3) as previously thought. However, the unique structural features of robo are required to prevent midline crossing and the unique structural features of lea are required to promote midline crossing.
Ectopic expression of robo3 in md neurons switches their terminal arbor from a medial to an intermediate fascicle.
robo3 is present only on the lateral 2/3 longitudinal tracts in the CNS.
