A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{GawB}. The P{GawB} construct carries a w+mW.hs mini-white visible marker and Scer\GAL4 driver/enhancer trap sequences. The GAL4-UAS system is a binary system using Scer\GAL4, a yeast transcription activator protein gene, and Scer\UAS, the DNA binding site for the GAL4 protein. The P{GawB} construct acts as an enhancer trap: expression of the GAL4 is sensitive to enhancers in the genomic region of an insertion. When paired with a construct or insertion carrying a reporter gene downstream of Scer\UAS, the reporter gene is driven by and reflects the expression of the GAL4.

Drives expression in ensheathing glial cells.
Scer\GAL4NP6520 drives expression in a subset of ensheathing glia in the larval and pupal central brain.
The larval neuropil glial cells are Gs2-positive and comprise ScerGAL4alrm.PD-positive, pros-positive and ScerGAL4NP6520-positive, pros-negative subsets.
ScerGAL4NP6520 drives expression in ensheathing glia, and faintly in cortex glia.
