Flybase, The gene Ser7 is a synonym of CG2045. In Coustau et al.'s original paper describing how Ser7 is upregulated during the immune response, they reported a portion of the amino acid sequence for Ser7. Blasting this amino acid sequence against the genome gave one very clear hit, for CG2045. Furthermore, De Gregorio et al. (PNAS 98:12590-12595 ) just showed that CG2045 is upregulated during the immune response.
