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).
chp protein is expressed in photoreceptor cell soma and their axons.
Expressed specifically on the photoreceptor plasma membrane, strongly labeling the photoreceptor axons.
Complete disappearance of Bolwig's nerve occurs between 8 and 16 hours APF, as judged by chp immunostaining.
chp protein is linked to the extracellular surface of the plasma membrance by covalent attachment to glycosylphosphotidylinasitol.

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.
polyclonal
The biophysical and biochemical characteristics of a synthetic Leu-rich repeat peptide (CRP32) generated from the sequence of one of the repeats found in chp is studied.
Biochemical analyses demonstrate that chp is linked to the extracellular surface by covalent attachment to glycosyl-phosphotidylinositol: chp is required for photoreceptor cell morphogenesis. Results suggest that chp and other members of the leucine rich repeat family of proteins define a new class of cell adhesion molecules.
chp mutants have disorganized rhabdomere organization.
Developmental expression pattern of the cDNA clone is examined.
Identified as a cDNA clone that is expressed at a low frequency in the body but abundantly in the head of the adult.
The structural gene encoding chaoptin, a 160kD glycoprotein localized to the extracellular membrane surface of photoreceptor cells and their axonal projections to the optic ganglia. Protein first identified by a monoclonal antibody (MAb24B10). Antigen first appears behind the morphogenetic furrow during differentiation of the eye imaginal disk. Defective alleles, chp1 and chp2, recognized by reduced levels of antigen. Rhabdomeres of mutant photoreceptor cells highly deranged or nearly absent in homozygotes and hemizygotes for chp1 or chp2, respectively; also close apposition of adjacent retinular cells partially disrupted. Gene product postulated to play role in cell surface interactions necessary for correct alignment of the microvilli that form the rhabdomeres.

The "idl-A" complementation probably corresponds to alleles of the "chp" locus; idl-A mutants fail to complement hypomorphic chp alleles for inaD mislocalisation and retinal degeneration.

Full-name of 'chp' changed from 'chaoptic' to 'chaoptin' to reflect overwhelming community usage and reduce confusion.
