dPHM
an enzyme involved in producing amidated neuropeptides - amidated secretory peptides are required for signaling events that ensure progression through several critical developmental transitions

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).

Phm is expressed in a series of lateral abdominal neurons, and in some insulin-like producing cells (IPCs).
Co-localisation of Phm and ScerGAL4dimm-929 is observed in most of the Phm-positive neurons of the central nervous system, corpus cardiacum, midgut cells, peritracheal cells and lateral Kolbchen lbd neurons. Weakly stained Phm-positive neurons do not express ScerGAL4dimm-929.
Phm protein is detected throughout all levels of the larval CNS as well as in other tissues, including the endocrine glands and the gut. Staining is observed in the cell bodies and in the neuropil of the brain. Staining is also prevalent in secretory cells of the ring gland, salivary gland, and in diverse cells in all levels of the midgut. In the CNS, several strongly staining cells were identified as neuroendocrine neurons. Many Phm-positive neurons were shown to be peptidergic cells.

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.
