Strain Name: uta / Allele: s301

Allele s301
Strain Name uta
Type Mutant
Genotype utas301
Affected Gene Not identified
Origin and Depositor University of California San Francisco (Dr. Akira Muto)
Present affiliation: National Institute of Genetics
Link to ZFIN ZDB-GENO-050617-16    
Information
1. Melanosomes are expanded slightly even in a light-adapting condition (so called visual background adaptation (VBA) defect).
2. Mutants show reduced optokinetic response (OKR) for several minutes after return to the light from a 45 min dark treatment. The responsiveness is recovered by 30-60 min under the light adapting condition.
Examination of mutant : Mutant larvae (5-7dpf) show weak VBAdefect.
Viability: Adult-viable.
