Relative viability decreases as the genotype approaches the homozygous Gpdh-/Gpo- double null state: phenotype ranges from flightless and viable to lethal. Individuals can fly. Double null combination with Gpon322 are viable and flightless over the double deletion Df(2L)cl7Df(2R)WMG chromosome.
Enzyme activity is 4.0% of wild-type. Electrophoretic mobility is less than GpdhB.
