mxp(Stm) = maxillopedia(Stumpy)
Gene: mxp
Feature/structure: Antennae
Linkage Group:  2 
Origin: Ethylmethane sulfonate.
Description: • GOF. Club and funicle of antennae reduced.
• Near-lethal with lethal mxp alleles
• Complements viable mxp.
• Homozygous stock is fertile.
• Other stocks balanced with Stm are only slightly leaky.
• Lab-S RFLP matches Stm RFLP in a clone from the A gene, so Stm probably is a Lab-S chromosome.
• No translocation found cytologically by Giovani Mocelin.
