31245 Q9V3X4 BSCL2_DROME Seipin DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Flies are viable and fertile with no noticeable behavior defects, but display reduced average weight. The size of the lipid droplets in larval fat bodies and the fat cells of young adults is significantly reduced, but exhibit ectopic lipid droplets in salivary gland and gut. Flies also display greatly reduced total glyceride levels and hypersensitivity to starvation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21533227}.
