L2 stage worms showed GFP fluorescence in the ventral hypodermis. Expression of
Ce-dab-1 within the VPCs and their descendants continued through vulval development, and became restricted to the descendants of P5.p and P7.p by mid-L4.
Ce-dab-1 was also expressed in the anchor cell (AC), sheath cells surrounding the amphid neurons in the head, the gut, and several unidentified cells in the anus and uterus of L3-adult animals. However, no
Ce-dab-1 expression was detectable in the SMs.
