Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Fusion gene selectively expressed in a subset of the nervous system and is not expressed at detectable levels in non neural tissues such as muscle hypodermal tissues, gonad and intestine. Expression is observed in both embryonic and postembryonic development. At 44-cell stage, staining seen in a subset of cells, descendants of the AB founder cell which will form the cells of the nervous system. During the proliferation phase, intensity and number of cells increase considerably but it is difficult to identify individual cells. Most of these cells are clustered in the region that give rise to all ganglia in the head and tail region and the ventral nerve cord of the hatched animals. During late embryogenesis the intensity and number of cells expressing the fusion decreases. In L1 larvae, there is weak staining of the neurons in the head, tail and ventral cord but intensity increases greatly during L2-L4. At larval and adult stages, 6 touch receptor neurons (ALML, ALMR, PLML, PLMR, AVM AND PVM) are stained. The axonal processes of the postembryonic touch cells AVM and PVM are weakly stained, the axonal processes of the embryonic touch cells (ALML, ALMR, PLML, PLMR) are intensely stained. The touch neurons stain weakly in L1 larvae, but by L3 these cells are strongly stained. Among the motor neurons of the ventral nerve cord, embryonically generated DA, DB, motor neurons stain weakly in the embryos and larvae but during L3-L4 larval and adult development intense staining of the 38-39 motor neurons, which include the VA and VB classes.
