Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
A set of mutant stocks derived by insertional mutagenesis using the P-element construct P{lacW}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{lacW} construct carries a w+mC mini-white visible marker, Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap sequences, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue (FBrf0049800).
Genomic location previously reported as 3R:8452738..8452738 [+].
In adult, expressed in the principal (type I) cells of the Malpighian tubules, highest expression in main segment, lower levels in the initial segment and the transitional segment. Expression not restricted to Malpighian tubules.
Ubiquitous expression observed, with particularly strong expression in epithelial tissue. Expression is detected in the Malpighian tubules, posterior adult hindgut, salivary glands, and cuticular sensillae; the uterus and female accesory glands also stain.
In wandering third instar larva, high levels of expression in foregut, midgut and Malpighian tubules; moderate levels in hindgut, salivary glands and gonad.
