UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Unlike controls, individuals expressing Rad17GD4236 under the control of Scer\GAL419-12 show increased class III da neuron axonal regeneration after injury.
Adults expressing Rad17GD4236 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.
