DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE |
Embryonic and pupal lethal. Male mutants show small testes and degenerating spermatocytes with a large accumulation of small fat-containing vesicles in the cytoplasm and almost no mitochondria. Null mutant photoreceptors fail to differentiate normally, are unable to form proper rhabdomeres and present smaller mitochondria with fewer, but swollen crestae, than wild-type cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9585418}. |
