Drives expression in a subset of sugar-sensing neurons.
ScerGAL4Gr61a.4.9 drives expression in about 12 sugar-sensing chemosensory neurons in the prothoracic leg. A subset of the leg neurons project to the ventral nerve cord then ascend through the cervical connective to the posterior gnathal gangion.
ScerGAL4Gr61a.4.9 drives expression in 1-2 gustatory receptor neurons associated with the taste pegs and 4 gustatory receptor neurons of the adult labral sense organ. All of the labellar neurons and many of the tarsal S cells send projections to the adult subesophageal zone.
ScerGAL4Gr61a.4.9 drives expression in adult abdominal multidendritic neurons with with dorsal processes extending along the left-right axis, as well as in multidendritic neurons with lateral processes extending anteroposteriorly; these major processes have several protruding dendrites. Additionally, expression is driven in multidendritic neurons with ladder-like processes along the dorsal abdominal wall.
ScerGAL4Gr61a.4.9 is expressed in most of the long sugar-sensitive neuron of the taste sensilla of the labellum.
