UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of KankGD6584 under the control of Scer\GAL4Dot.PU in larvae results in impaired nephrocyte function as assayed by fluorescent protein uptake, but no change in number or size of cardiac nephrocytes.
Adults expressing KankGD6584 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
