Consists of 5.6kb HindIII-SalI fragment of genomic sequences including 2kb of upstream, and 1.7kb of downstream sequences.
gcm+t5.6 is a non-suppressor of larval lateral VNC glial cell phenotype of hkb2
The gcm+t5.6 transgene fails to rescue the absent glial phenotype of hkb2 mutants.
gcm+t5.6 rescues gcm26
gcm+t5.6 rescues gcmN7-4
The addition of gcm+t5.6 to gcmN7-4 animals leads to the rescue of subperineural glia (SPG), and peripheral glia (PG). This rescue is does dependent. Defects in the CNS and in the PNS are also partially rescued.
