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).

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.
ik2 protein is locally activated (by phosphorylation at residue Ser175) at the tip of growing mechanosensory bristles and controls the rapid shuttling of recycling endosomes. ik2 is also involved in actin bundle organisation. These two processes (recycling endosome dynamics and actin bundle organisation) appear to be independently regulated by ik2.
Mutations in ik2 affect polarized bristle microtubule formation.
ik2 is required for dendritic severing during dendrite pruning of ddaC neurons in the pupa.
Both the actin cytoskeleton and the anchoring of microtubule minus-ends are disrupted in ik2 mutants.
When dsRNA constructs are made and transiently transfected into S2 cells in RNAi experiments, a whole range of mitotic abnormalities and spindle abnormalities are seen.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
