UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing P5CDh1GD12151 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in adult/pharate lethality.
