Expression of one copy of Mmus\wldS.Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 has a mild protective effect on L1 vein neurons following axotomy. Fragmentation of axons occurs more slowly than in wild type.
Expression of Mmus\wldS.Scer\UAS.cNa does not suppress the degeneration seen in leg motor neuron clones expressing Hsap\TARDBPQ331K.Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371.
