Has a deletion of G2076 of the coding sequence causing a frame shift that changes the peptide sequence after K692.
Reported as a deletion of G2076. The deletion causes a frameshift after L692 and the next two new residues are CK.
denticle (with Df(3R)ED5187)
Homozygous, sec239G/sec23CK or sec23CK/Df(3R)ED5187 animals exhibit the same defects. Mutant embryos produce a discontinuous or thin larval cuticle, tracheae do not become air-filled and are barely visible, and the head skeleton is less melanised (though has normal morphology). Ventral denticles and dorsal hairs are missing, though the surface is not smooth but wrinkly. There is reduced chitin in the epidermis and trachea. Animals die at the first instar larval stage within the egg case.
