The gfp-tagged
dmd-3 locus is expressed in a sex-shared neuron class, the PHC neurons, where
dmd-3 acts to control the sexually dimorphic remodeling of PHC (Mason et al., 2008; Serrano-Saiz et al., 2017a).
dmd-3::gfp expression in PHC also commences at the L4 stage, at the time when PHC neurons remodel in a male-specific manner (Serrano-Saiz et al., 2017a).
