A 4327bp fragment flanking the 5' end of the trpl gene (coordinates 2R:5636895..5641221 , release 5 genome) is fused upstream of sequence encoding a GAL4 driver.
Expression is driven in ten gustatory receptor neurons of the labellum. A subset of ScerGAL4trpl.PZ-positive neurons in the labellum and subesophageal ganglion is also positive for the bitter-response marker AvicGFPGr66a.3x.IRES.2x.
