The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data byVedeleket 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 dorsal/lateral sensory complexes
ppk transcript is detected in embryonic, larval, and adult stages.ppk transcript and protein expression is detected in a subset of peripheral neurons in embryos starting at stage 17, and in early larvae. The subset of PNS neurons in which expression is detected are multidendritic neurons of the dendritic arborizing type. In abdominal segments A1-A7,ppk expression is detected in 1 of 6 dmd neurons, in the v'ada neuron, and in 1 of 5 vmd neurons. In thoracic segments,ppk expression is detected in 1 of 6 dmd neurons, and in 1 ofv'md neurons.
Low levels ofppk transcript expression are detected in early embryos using RT-PCR. Levels are higher in late embryos (14-16 hr), and expression is also detected in larvae, pupae, and adults. Using in situ hybridization, a segmentally repeated pattern of expression is detected in a subset of PNS cells during late embryogenesis. Two groups of neurons (dmd5 and v'md5) are stained in thoracic segments, and three groups (dmd6, v'ada, and vmd5) are stained in abdominal segments. The staining neurons belong to the dendritic arborizing subclas of multidentritic neurons.

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 seeJBrowse 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.

ppk encodes an acid-sensing ion channel in class IV multidendritic sensory neurons.
Mutant larvae show an increase in crawling speed and an unusual straight path with fewer stops and turns than wild-type larvae. This enhanced locomotion is due to a higher frequency of sustained peristaltic contraction wave cycling and a significant decrease in the pause period between contraction cycles.
ppk is not a vital gene.
ppk has been cloned and characterised.
ppk has been cloned and sequenced, and its expression pattern has been analysed.
