Expr9188

smp- 1::gfp is strongly expressed in the male hook. Expression was observed at the cell membrane of the developing male hook precursors, the adult hook, in rays 7, 8 and 9, and in the bursa of the male tail. No expression was observed in ray 1-6 lineages.

Expr2408

PKD-2::GFP4 is expressed in the male-specific sensory neurons of the head (the CEMs), rays, and hook (HOB).

Expr3208

lov-1 and atp-2 are coexpressed in the tail ray B neurons and HOB hook neuron as well as the male-specific CEM head neurons.

Expr9189

smp- 2::gfp is strongly expressed in the male hook in close proximity to ray 1 in wild-type adult males. Expression was observed in rays 7, 8 and 9. No expression was observed in ray 1-6 lineages.

Expr4254

pkd-2 is expressed in a subset of male-specific sensory neurons: four CEM neurons in the head, eight pairs of Ray B neurons (1-5 and 7-9, excluding R6B), and the HOB hook neuron in the tail.

Expr9657

klp-6 is expressed in the male-specific sensory neurons of the rays (RnBs, n = 1-9 but not 6), hook (HOB), and head (CEMs). klp-6 is also expressed in the IL2 head sensory neurons of males and hermaphrodites.

Expr11946

A lov-1:gfp fusion vector directed expression in the male-specific CEM neurons, the hook neuron HOB, and sensory ray neurons. During development, expression was first detected during L4 in the male lethargus and peaked in the adult male.

Expr2697

In male, egl-46 expressed in FLP cells, ventral cord neurons and PVD. egl-46::cfp was expressed in the HOB neuron beginning at the L4 stage and continuing throughout adulthood. No detectable expression was seen in the HOA hook neuron.

Expr2409

The alpha-PKD-2 antibodies stained only male-specific sensory neurons in wild-type animals. Based on cell body positions, the PKD-2 protein is detected in the head CEMs, ray (except Ray 6), and hook HOB neurons of wild-type males.

Expr2696

By the late L4 stage, most of the cells that function in adults reach their final locations, and initiate morphological changes to form the adult tail structures. At this stage, ceh-26 begins to be expressed and perdures through the adulthood in the HOB hook neuron.
