ScerGAL4subdued-c240 drives expression in class IV dendritic arborizing neurons involved in nociception. In addition, expression is observed in some cells of the larval and adult central nervous system. Some non-neural cells are labelled in the proventriculus, oviduct, Malpighian tubule and spermathecum.
Inactivation of Scer\GAL4subdued-c240-expressing neurons results in an impaired larval nociceptive rolling response to noxious thermal stimuli of 42 or 46[o]C.
