Amino acid replacement: A588T.
Nucleotide substitution: G?A.
The A588T change is equivalent to a A606T change in the orthologous human ATP1A2 gene (a mutation known to cause familial hemiplegic migraine).

Heterozygotes are bang sensitive, homozygotes are lethal.
AtpαCJ7/AtpαCJ13 animals are viable and bang sensitive at 25[o]C, but all animals die at 29[o]C.
AtpαCJ12/AtpαCJ13 animals are viable at 25[o]C but semi-lethal at 29[o]C.
Heterozygotes display normal waking activity levels - i.e., normal circadian rhythms.
Heterozygotes display reduced waking locomotor activity in response to startle stimulation.
Aged heterozygous adult brains exhibit marked (large clustering) vacuolar pathology throughout.
Aged heterozygous flight muscle does not exhibit myopathology.
Heterozygous mutants have a significantly lower respiration (metabolic) rate than controls.
Homozygous embryos form normal paracellular barriers and trachea.
Young heterozygous adults display no overt locomotor defects. However, these flies show significant, progressive bang sensitivity as they age.
Heterozygotes have a lifespan similar to controls.
Heterozygous adults do not show a marked reduction in feeding.
