UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG42594GD3229 RNAi under the control of either Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 or Scer\GAL4tub.PU does not significantly alter levels of pigmentation on the abdominal tergite 5 or 6 in adult females compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG42594GD3229 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.
