This construct was expressed faintly in QL and QR, more strongly in the neighboring epidermal cells (dorsal hyp7 cells, ventral P cells and lateral V cells), and in dorsal and ventral body muscle cells.
Staining was observed in all larval and adult stages, localizing to the nuclei of the hypodermal cells, specifically the head (hyp3, hyp4, hyp6, and hyp7) and seam/body (hyp7, H, V, and P) hypodermal cells.
Region N3 was expressed in the hypodermal hyp7 cells in the late embryo and early L1 larvae as well as in the V cells, P cells, and ventral nerve cord of the early L1 through L3 larvae.
