The reduced amd gene product interferes with catecholamine metabolism.
Sensitive to dietary α-methyl dopa.
Sensitive to α-methyl dopa.
amdH29/amd6 has partially lethal phenotype, suppressible by Tcr45
amd1/amd6 has partially lethal phenotype, suppressible by Df(3L)TP32
amdH29/amd6 transheterozygotes show partial lethality. These flies show a striking increase in viability if they are also carrying one copy of Tcr45. amd1/amd6 transheterozygotes show partial lethality. These flies show a substantial increase in viability if they are also carrying one copy of Df(3L)TP32.
