Additional Information
Statement
Reference

Drives expression in adult Malpighian tubule structures, including principal cells of the main segment, in bar-shaped cells of the initial and transitional segments, and the lower tubule. In the adult brain, drives expression in the ellipsoid and fan-shaped bodies and pars intercerbralis, in about 13 ring neurons R2 and R4m, and in a subset of fan-shaped neurons.

(FlyBase Curators, 2017)

ScerGAL4c42 labeling is detected in about 13 ring neurons R2 and R4m at 7-8 days of age.

(Martín-Peña et al., 2014)

ScerGAL4c42 drives expression in Malphighian tubule type I cells (principal cells).

(Terhzaz et al., 2010)

In adult Malpighian tubule, expressed in principal cells of the main segment, in bar-shaped cells of the initial and transitional segments, and in the lower tubule.
