UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of hkGD12598 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in a glial overmigration phenotype in the eye disc.
Expression of hkGD12598 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU or Scer\GAL4ey.3.5.Exel has no effect on glial cell migration in the eye disc.
Adults expressing hookGD12598 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.
