The fusion cell (FC) enhancer of the genomic region upstream of esg (7259 bp, position 15313739-15320998 of NT_033779) drives expression of GAL4.
ScerGAL4pAS is expressed in a row of cells containing large nuclei, which are characteristic of the amnioserosa and directly flank the leading edge of the dorsal epidermis. It also shows sporadic expression in inner amnioserosa cells.
