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

WAKE-Ab1 was raised against CG42686 and WAKE-Ab2 against CG6954. The amount of wake-protein detected varies throughout the day and is strongest at zeitgeber time 14. Both antibodies recognize a 180 kDa peptide in a western blot assay but do not work in immunohistochemistry.

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: reported as tracheal system anlage
Comment: expression dependent on circadian time

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.
wake promotes sleep and is required for circadian timing of sleep onset. It appears to act as a clock output molecule, inhibiting the large ventrolateral neurons (l-LNvs) at dusk to promote the transition from wake to sleep.
RNAi generated by PCR using primers directed to this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.

Gene is named "wide awake" after the mutant phenotype of significantly reduced sleep amount and markedly increased sleep latency.
