UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of twzJF01867 under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80, but not Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9, in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency, in larvae significantly reduces the latency to escape behavior following noxious heat stimulation, compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC twzJF01867 male flies over-eat after starvation compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC twzJF01867 male flies eat significantly more food ad lib than controls in a 24 hr period. The number of feeding bouts is unaffected, while meal size is slightly increased.
