Homozygotes are larval lethal. X-ray induced mitotic clones cause an expansion of dorsal follicle cell fate. A small clone causes two short supernumerary appendages arise from the base of the normal appendages. In larger clones extra material forms multiple knob-like protrusions.

Original insertion maps 5-10kb upstream of Cf2, imprecise P-element excision induced by γ ray results in a deletion removes about 25kb.
