Expression Pattern :

Pattern  We observed Pswm-1::mCherry::H2B reporter expression in six to eight of the 12 vas deferens cuboidal cells. We also observed Pswm-1::mCherry::H2B in posterior body wall muscle cells and in the male-specific diagonal muscle cells, both of which overlie the seminal vesicle and vas deferens region. Expression of the Pswm-1 reporter in both gonadal and muscle cells began at late larval stages and persisted in adult animals until at least 48 h post L4. In addition, we observed reporter expression at low levels in two cells in the head, which were likely neurons. These data indicate that swm-1 is not expressed in sperm. Instead, it is produced in somatic tissues: the vas deferens, which is involved in the production, release, and transfer of seminal fluid, and muscle cells, outside the gonad.
