A 431 bp fragment from the flanking non-coding or intronic region of Mdr65 is fused upstream of a Drosophila core synthetic promoter (DSCP) followed by sequence encoding a lexA::p65 driver. The driver sequence has been optimized for Drosophila codon usage. An Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.
EcollexAGMR54C07 drives expression in adult subperineurial glial cells in the entire adult CNS, as well as in the embryonic and larval CNS.
