While in early morphogenesis of
dlg-1(RNAi) embryos basolateral expression of VANG-1 is unaffected, in late morphogenesis anti-VANG-1 staining of the CeAJ no longer appears homogenously around the apex of intestinal cells. Instead, a spotted VANG-1 expression pattern becomes apparent that is reminiscent to the distribution of AJM-1 in
dlg-1(RNAi) embryos.
