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).

wech expression is ubiquitous in early embryos. wech is expressed later in a dynamic pattern in neurons of the embryonic CNS and PNS. Both chordotonal and multidendritic neurons express wech at the end of PNS development. In wing disc, wech is expressed in specific cells along the future anterior wing margin. In eye discs, it is expressed both immediately anterior and posterior to the morphogenetic furrow. It is also expressed further posterior to the furrow in photoreceptor cells both before and after their specification. Expression is also observed in the optic lobes and regions that appear to be the proliferation zones.
wech protein is distributed in a punctate pattern in the cell membranes of oocytes and pre-blastoderm embryos. Later in embryogenesis, wech protein colocalizes with shg protein in epithelial cells. After germ band retraction, wech is accumulates at epidermal muscle attachment sites, where it colocalizes with mys protein.

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.
Annotation CG1624 renamed CG42396 in release 5.10 of the genome annotation.
FlyBase curator comment: The gene referred to as "dpld/dappled/wech" corresponds exclusively to the 'wech' gene (now re-annotated as CG42396) and NOT the "dpld/dappled" complementation group, which has since been identified as 'Cyt-b5/CG2140'. (The 'dpld/dappled' nomenclature has been used to refer to two different genes in the literature and in FlyBase because of confusion about the gene model to which the "dappled" complementation group corresponds - see Kleinhesselink et al., 2011, FBrf0214429.)
Previous genome annotation had assigned the 'dappled' ('dpld') complementation group to CG1624 (now CG42396, 'wech') based on the position of the k08815 insertion, which does not complement one of the original 'dpld' insertional alleles, k14202. However, analysis of flanking sequence of both the original 'dpld' insertional alleles, k14202 and k09716, indicates they map to the 5' UTR of CG2140/'Cyt-b5'. Re-analysis of the flanking sequences of k08815 indicates that this insertion is accompanied by a large deletion, thereby explaining the discrepancy and the original error. Thus, the 'dappled' complementation group is correctly identified as CG2140/'Cyt-b5'.
FlyBase curator comment: The gene referred to as "dpld" corresponds to the 'wech' gene (now re-annotated as CG42396) and NOT the "dpld/dappled" complementation group, which has since been identified as 'Cyt-b5/CG2140'.

Source for identity of: wech CG42396
The gene is named "wech" (a German Rhineland term for "detached" or "gone") due to its essential role in muscle attachment suring embryogenesis.
