Ppes-7::
pes-7::GFP expression begins at the gastrulation stage in only a few cells and broadens as the embryo develops. Consistent with its roles in cell adhesion, PES-7::GFP localizes to the cell cortex. In the larval or adult stages, the expression of Ppes-7::
pes-7::GFP is also enriched in the nervous system, with some in the epidermis, muscles, and intestines.
pes-7 is expressed in the AIY interneurons.
