Carries a G85R amino acid substitution in the Hsap\SOD1 coding region.
Flybase curator comment: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis subtype amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 is associated with gene SOD1.
Pioglitazone-treatment does not rescue the larval turning phenotype caused by the expression of Hsap\SOD1G85R.Scer\UAS in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Flies overexpressing Hsap\SOD1G85R.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4D42 in motor neurons show a progressive loss of climbing ability starting at 21 days after eclosion.
Flies overexpressing Hsap\SOD1G85R.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4D42 show no detectable loss of neuronal nuclei over time.
No anatomical degeneration of the retina occur in flies overexpressing Hsap\SOD1G85R.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
Synaptic transmission along the giant fibre motor pathway is abnormal in flies overexpressing Hsap\SOD1G85R.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4D42 in motor neurons.
