Deletes en transcription unit, approximate coordinates -12 to -14 of the inv-en region. The deletion removes the entire P{en-lacZ(Xho)} as well as 36 upstream base pairs and extends through the first exon and to within 3bp of the splice acceptor of the first intron. The homeodomain-encoding section of the gene is not deleted.
Transheterozygotes with Df(3L)X37 and Df(3L)10H produce normal flies, transheterozygotes with Df(3L)E13 or Df(3R)slo8 produce flies with abnormal wings.
