UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
When reared on a high sucrose diet, wandering third instar larvae expressing ktubGD14210 in the fat body (via Scer\GAL4Cg.PA, and in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa) are larger, contain increased TAG, and exhibit significantly lower hemolymph glucose compared with controls.
Adults expressing ktubGD14210 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.
