A translational tps-1::gfp reporter strain shows a similar pattern [Expr15808] but also contains expression in the body wall muscle cells and spermatheca.
tps-2p::gfp is strongly expressed in body wall muscles and likely the ciliated sensory neurons, but in contrast to the larval transcriptomics data, expression in the intestine and hypodermis is very weak.
We observed tps-1p::gfp expression in most tissues, including neurons (with likely very high expression in the CAN neurons), somatic gonad, stomatointestinal, and anal depressor muscles, and weak expression in the intestine.
Strong expression of TPS-1 occurred predominantly in the hypodermis, a tissue in which DAF-9 and STRM-1 are also expressed. Some expression was observed in a number of head neurons and in the isthmus of the pharynx, and no expression was seen in the intestinal cells.
