UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of nomGD13819 under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO leads to a developmental arrest at the third instar larval stage, with the larvae being larger than controls.
Adults expressing nomGD13819 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.
