8kb genomic fragment containing the ST6Gal locus.
ST6Galt8 rescues the locomotor defects of ST6GalS23 larvae and rescues the shortened longevity, bang sensitivity and temperature sensitive paralytic phenotype of ST6GalS23 adults.
The reduced number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction of dorsal abdominal muscle 1 which is seen in ST6GalS23 larvae is partially rescued by ST6Galt8.
