UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of FMRFaRJF01879 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 does not affect the expected increase in food consumption induced by dietary amino acids, as observed in controls.
Expression of FMRFaRJF01879 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU in adult females significantly decreases locomotor activity in fed conditions, compared to controls; like controls, locomotor activity is significantly increased under starvation conditions.
