Transgenic animals carrying a mCherry-tagged transcriptional reporter show
set-2 expression in early embryo. Ubiquitous expression of
set-2 during embryonic development is evident around the presumptive time of PVQ axon development. In one-day adult transgenic animals,
set-2 expression was observed in the pharynx, in the nerve ring, in neurons of the ventral nerve cord, and HSNs.
