Expression Pattern :

Pattern  To identify the cells in which twk-40 might be expressed, we generated transgenic animals expressing GFP driven by a 5.8 kb twk-40 promoter. The transgene labeled head neurons, the ventral nerve cord, motor neurons and tail neurons. To examine whether twk-2 and twk-40 are expressed in same neurons, we generated transgenic animals co-expressing Ptwk-40F::GFP and Ptwk-2::mCherry (Ptwk-2 is a 3.1 kb twk-2 promoter upstream of the start codon). In these animals, we observed co-expression of the reporters in AVA and AVE neurons, unidentified tail neuron(s) at the position of DVA/DVB/DVC and a subset of motor neurons.
