Expressing kay^HMS00254 under the control of Scer\GAL4^ppk.PU results in a significantly reduced number of branch points in the dendrites of class IV dendritic arborizing neurons in third instar larvae compared to wild-type controls.

Expression of kay^HMS00254 in C-I neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4²²¹ results in ddaD neurons that have an increased number of dendritic branches compared to controls. The total dendritic length is increased in ddaE neurons.No defects are seen in vpda neurons.

Expression of kay^HMS00254 in C-IV neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4^ppk.1.9 results in a reduction in total dendritic length in ddaC, v'ada and vdaB neurons. The total number of dendritic branches is also reduced in ddaC and v'ada neurons.
