UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of TmcGD2393 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tmc-Gal4 results in larval locomotion defects including increased head curl behavior and enhanced backward locomotion.
Adults expressing CG46121GD2393 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
