DmKAP, kinesin-2, Kap
the non-motor accessory subunit of Kinesin II - involved in intraflagellar transport - required for the axoneme growth and maintenance of the cilia in Drosophila type I sensory neurons - expressed in Johnston's organ and required for hearing

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).
Kap3 RNA cannot be identified in early egg chambers, but is seen at stage 10b.

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.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Kap3 is required for the assembly of sensory cilia but not for the assembly of the sperm flagellum.
Identification: strong sequence similarity to SpKAP115.
Point mutants show an uncoordinated mutant phenotype as adults. Additionally, odor perception may be affected.
