Drives expression in proneural clusters and in sensory organ precursor cells (SOPs). Drives expression in larval and adult mushroom bodies.
In embryos, ScerGAL4sca-C253 drives expression in a subset of epidermal cells in from stage 12 onwards, and in some uncharacterized cells from stage 16. At larval stages, ScerGAL4sca-C253 drives expression in the brain and optic lobes, and in the wing hinge primordium of the wing disc.
The P{GAL4} transposon has inserted 153bp upstream of the sca gene and drives expression in a sca-liek pattern.
