The gene Fasciclin 3 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Fas3 (CG5803, FBgn0000636). It has the cytological map location 36F2-36F4. Its sequence location is 2L:18320101..18392590. Its molecular function is unknown. It is involved in the biological processes: axon guidance; synaptic target recognition; ovarian follicle cell development; axonal fasciculation; homophilic cell adhesion; synaptic target attraction; axonogenesis; calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion; learning and/or memory; olfactory learning. 30 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 16 unique terms, many of which group under: hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system; abdominal ventral longitudinal muscle 3; nervous system; embryonic neuron; abdominal 7 longitudinal muscle; larval abdominal segment 5; larval abdominal segment; embryonic nervous system; hypodermal muscle of larval abdominal 2; abdominal 6 longitudinal muscle. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides.

Fas3: Fasciclin III
Monoclonal-antibody staining reveals a complex sequence of temporal and spatial expression of Fas3. It is expressed on segmentally repeated patches of cells during neurogenesis and outside the developing CNS on segmentally repeated stripes in the epidermis at the segmental grooves, on patches of epithelial cells near the stomodeal and proctodeal invaginations, on the visceral but not the somatic mesoderm, and on the luminal surface of the salivary gland epithelium; expression is highest where fasciclin-III-positive cells contact one another. After germ-band extension transiently expressed on segmentally repeated patches of neuroepithelial cells and specific underlying neuronal lineages; by the end of germ band retraction fasciclin-III is expressed in repeated stripes across all body segments. At hour 12 fasciclin is detected on a subset of three axon bundles (fascicles) in the anterior commissure and two in the posterior commissure of each segment; generally, however it's not expressed on the axons of these neurons that exit CNS, specifically on the longitudinal fascicles. Expression of Fas3 in transfected cultured cells promotes their adhesion to each other, but not to nonexpressing cells (Snow, et al.). The monoclonal antibodies used in the isolation of fasciclin identify four closely related membrane glycoproteins of 80, 66, 59, and 46 kd molecular weight; all depend on the presence of Fas3+ for their presence.
