Molecular data
A 5' enhancer region of 5-HT7 corresponding to 5kb of genomic DNA immediately upstream of the ATG start codon is fused to Scer\GAL4 coding sequences in an 'Enhancer Ready Gal4-P element' vector.

Statement
Reference
Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] labels a serotonergic receptor and it is expressed in subsets of cells in the larval brain and ventral nerve cord. In the adult, labelling is mostly in the central complex, including 48 ring neurons of the ellipsoid body and the lateral triangles (bulbs). Co-localisation with Ddc is observed in the central complex. There is also weak staining in some antennal lobe glomeruli and in one neuron that innervates it. This neuron does not express Ddc. One cluster of cells labelled by Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] in the lateral brain is in close proximity to a group of cells which express Pdf. Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] also drives expression in paired neurons of all thoracic and abdominal neuromeres of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion: 40 and 30 neurons, respectively. In the larval brain and ventral nerve cord and in the adult thoracico-abdominal ganglion the absence of co-localisation between Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] and Ddc suggests that Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] is expressed postsynaptically.
Scer\GAL4[5-HT7.ERGP] drives expression in the anterior and posterior rings of the ellipsoid body. In the latter, expression is observed in the innermost and outermost ring. Expression is also detected in approximately 30 paired cell bodies in the anterior cortex that project to the bulb (lateral triangle) and to the ellipsoid body.
