UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of sloJF01470 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tsp42Ec leads to reduced acidity in the acidic region of the larval midgut, but no significant effect on larval development or survival under normal conditions, as compared with controls. Mutant larvae exposed to high dietary KCl or NaCl exhibit decreased survival, as compared with controls.
