8bp deletion within the coding region of the mature CCHa2 peptide, resulting in a frameshift. The mature peptide produced is predicted to be GCQAYGHVWSWQA instead of the wild-type GCQAYGHVCYGGH sequence.
CCHa2CR-1 mutants show a delay in pupation in a high sugar diet.
CCHa2CR-1/Df(3R)Exel7320 mid-third instar larvae have significantly reduced body weight compared to controls, the effect is seen in both sexes.
CCHa2CR-1 is partially rescued by CCHa2UAS.cSa
Expression of CCHa2Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA strongly rescues the reduced body weight characteristic for CCHa2CR-1/Df(3R)Exel7320 mid-third instar larvae. Significant rescue is observed in both sexes.
