PatternStrong expression could be observed in the embryo already before elongation and continuing throughout development. The number of GFP positive cells increases between the end of gastrulation and the 2-fold stage when a large number of cells in the head including neurons, hypodermal cells and the pharyngeal primordium express GFP. Outside the head region expression is obvious in all embryonic motoneurons in the ventral cord and in rectal epithelial cells, gland cells and the anal depressor and intestinal muscle in the tail. The expression persisted through all larval stages, most prominently in pharyngeal muscle cells. In adult animals cdh-4::GFP was also expressed in the reproduction system namely the spermatheca, the vulva and uterine muscles and the distal tip cells (DTC).
