UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of lohGD5502 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hand.PA results in detachment of pericardial cells from the third instar larval heart tube.
Adults expressing lohGD5502 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.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.
