  Subcellular_localization: Expression of the ptc-3p::ptc-3::gfp reporter is predominantly associated with polarized epithelial cells at the plasma membrane and in vesicular structures.
  Type: Reporter_gene
  Pattern: During the L3 and L4 larval stages, PTC-3::GFP was detected during the morphogenesis of the somatic gonad and vulva. Prominent expression was associated with the H-shaped uterine seam cell (utse), which connects the uterus and vulva. During vulval morphogenesis, PTC-3::GFP was also associated with the toroidal vulE, and possibly vulD cells. In addition, expression was detected in the VC4-VC5 neurons of the vulva.
    PTC-3::GFP expression is highly dynamic. In particular, high levels of PTC-3::GFP were detected in the hypodermis prior to hatching; expression also intensified in the hypodermis prior to each larval molt. PTC-3::GFP was also detected in the excretory duct, which is involved in maintaining ionic and osmotic regulation (Nelson and Riddle, 1984).
