Imprecise excision was used to generate a 1kb deletion of the 5' coding sequence of the CG4365 gene.
CG4365Δ mutants do not exhibit detectable neuron loss in 20-day old flies, nor a change in glutathione abundance.
The loss of DA neurons caused by Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa expression in 20-day old adults is not affected by a CG4365Δ background.
