    Description

    FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.

        desat1unspecified flies exhibit a low level of Ζ-7-tricosene, which tends to inhibit homosexual courtship by wild-type males. The addition of Ζ-7-tricosene to desat1unspecified reduces the level of courtship by wild-type males.

        Desat1unspecified is rescued by Desat1+tKa

        (Köhler et al., 2009)
        Comments

        Driving the expression of desat1Scer\UAS.cKa using Scer\GAL4ppl.PP results in a partial rescue of the desat1unspecified mutant lethality.
