Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a 1096bp deletion that extends from +133 to +1236 relative to the translation start site.
Mutant flies show a reduced avoidance index for low temperature in a temperature preference behaviour assay.
Cyp6a17Δ173 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Cyp6a17.MB/Cyp6a17UAS.cKa
Cyp6a17Δ173 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Mef2.247/Cyp6a17UAS.cKa
Cyp6a17Δ173 is rescued by Cyp6a17+t4.2
Cyp6a17+t4.2 rescues the abnormal temperature preference behaviour of Cyp6a17Δ173 flies.
Expression of Cyp6a17Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of either Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 or Scer\GAL4Cyp6a17.MB rescues the abnormal temperature preference behaviour of Cyp6a17Δ173 flies.
