Expression of one or two copies of Abca3^GD3708 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu leads to an increase in the active zone number at neuromuscular junctions (of muscle 4 of the A3 and A4 segment) in third instar larvae and a reduction in larval olfactory learning abilities when compared to controls.

Expression of ABCA^GD3708 under the control of either Scer\GAL4^GR1 or Scer\GAL4^{nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16} does not induce any nurse cell clearance defect in mutant stage 14 egg chambers and like in wild-type all the germ-line derived nurse cells have undergone programmed cell death and been cleared by this stage.

Expression of ABCA^GD3708 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu leads to a significant increase in average distance between male adults (from one or two copies of ABCA^GD3708) or between female adults (only from two copies of ABCA^GD3708), despite no significant changes in locomotor ability, as compared to controls. Reared under 12h:12h light:dark cycles, these adults present increases in morning activity peak, in evening peak activity (including an early onset of activity), and in midday siesta activity (which are more evident if expressing from two copies than from one copy of the transgene), as compared to controls; these adult males also exhibit an increase in night time sleep if expressing from one, but not from two, transgene copy, as compared to controls.

The neuromuscular junctions of third instar larvae expressing from one or two copies of ABCA^GD3708 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu exhibit a significant increase in the number of satellite boutons, but exhibit no obvious changes in the number of mature boutons, or in either the number or length of branches, as compared to controls.

Adults expressing CG1718^GD3708 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2^Scer\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.
