The 'VT003280' genomic fragment used in Scer\GAL4VT003280 regulates expression of a lexA::UnkAD driver.
VT3280-LexA drives expression in SPR expressing sensory neurons (SPSN) in the female reproductive tract.
Virgin females in which the Ecol\lexAVT003280-expressing neurons have been silenced are unable to mate. Elevated levels of egg laying are seen.
Silencing Ecol\lexAVT003280-expressing neurons does not suppress the increased receptivity to males seen in mated females when SAG-1 neurons (Hsap\RELAAD.VT50405 and Scer\GAL4DBD.VT007068-expressing) have been activated.
