• Primary Identifier: Expr8874
• Remark: No detailed description on expression pattern in other life stages.. Picture: Fig. 1G, 1H.
• Pattern: This reporter was expressed at low levels in the early somatic gonadal lineage. Prominent expression was first seen in Z1.pa and Z4.ap, and their descendants. In the L3 stage, the F12E12.5 reporter was expressed in ventral and dorsal uterine precursors. Reporter expression was not seen in early embryos, perhaps due to the limited sequences used to generate the reporter.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3090
• Pattern: An hlh-2::lacZ transcriptional reporter appears to be expressed in a similar pattern to HLH-2 protein during the L1 stage. HLH-2 does not accumulate detectably in any cell of the gonad until Z1 and Z4 have undergone two rounds of division, near the end of the L1 stage. HLH-2 was consistently observed in the DTCs (Z1.aa and Z4.pp) and in the presumptive AC and mature AC. HLH-2 was also weakly and inconsistently present in Z1.pp and Z4.aa (the parents of Z1.ppp and Z4.aaa), as well as their sisters, Z1.pa and Z4.ap.
• Subcellular Localization: While HLH-2 accumulation in the DTCs is nuclear, as expected for a transcription factor, HLH-2 is detectable in the cytoplasm as well as the nucleus of other gonadal cells.
