The mutation no action potential(temperature sensitive) (nap(ts)) induces arrhythmia in the heartbeat of Drosophila melanogaster larvae at temperatures above 20 degrees C; heartbeat becomes normally rhythmic again after a shift back to 20 degrees C. For this phenotype, nap(ts) is almost completely recessive to the wild type. nap(ts) also reduces the temperature-sensitivity of heart rate over a wide range of temperatures, for this phenotype, nap(ts) is dominant over the wild type, nap(ts) causes reversible paralysis in adults by epistatic effects on the expression of paralytic(ts), a gene encoding a voltage-dependent sodium channel. However, the para(tsl) mutation, which induces paralysis in adults at 29 degrees C, has no effect on larval heartbeat at temperatures between 20 degrees and 37.5 degrees C. The period gene, contra earlier reports, has no effect on heartbeat.
