Penk14401a heterozygous flies (genetic background = Canton-S) have a significantly decreased geotaxis score compared to wild-type (Canton-S) flies.
Penk14401a homozygotes are wild type.
Separable from: oho31k14401b. The larval lethality and overgrowth of hematopoietic tissue phenotypes originally described as being due to Penk14401a in FBrf0082252 and FBrf0082712 have been found to be due to a second site mutation (oho31k14401b).
The mutant phenotypes of "l(2)k14401" homozygotes (which carry both oho31k14401b and P{lacW}Penk14401a) described in FBrf0082712 and FBrf0082252 are all due to the oho31k14401b mutation and are not due to the P{lacW}Penk14401a insertion.
FlyBase curator comment: "oho31" phenotype (overgrown hematopoietic tissues and larval lethality) in the "l(2)k14401" insertion line is stated in FBrf0082252 to be due to an effect on the "Pen" gene, however, FBrf0149010 states that the "oho31" mutant phenotype is caused by a second site mutation separable from the insertion in "Pen" in the "l(2)k14401" insertion line.
