Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion has resulted in a 2.3kb deletion downstream of the original insertion site. This deletion removes the entire Ilp6 5' untranslated region.
An imprecise excision event results in a 2.3kb deletion from site of P{SUPor-P}phl[KG04972] insertion. The mapped endpoints are approximate.
Homozygous male adults are reduced in body size compared to controls (this reduction is seen both in both body weight and wing area). Analysis of wing hair density shows that there is no reduction in cell size, but there is a decrease in cell number in the mutants.
Ilp64591 is rescued by Ilp6UAS.cIa/Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH
