Genomic fragment containing the ninaC gene from coordinates 3.4 to 14.6 (coordinates according to FBrf0047663), which includes 2.3kb 5' flanking sequences and 2.2kb 3' flanking sequences.
The electroretinogram of young, dark-reared ninaC5 flies carrying ninaC+t11.2 is indistinguishable from wild-type. No retinal degeneration is seen in these flies after 21 days on a light/dark cycle.
