Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Focusing on larval development, we found that LIN-12::mNG::3xFlag was expressed in all postembryonic mesoderm progenitor cells at the 4M and 8M stages, but was only localized to the nucleus in ventral M-lineage cells, consistent with functions in dorsoventral patterning of the M lineage (Foehr & Liu, 2008). LIN-12::mNG::3xFlag was subsequently visible in somatic gonad cells and in several PN.p cells where lin-12 regulates cell fates (reviewed by Sternberg, 2005). LIN-12::mNG::3xFlag was visible at the cell membrane and in internalized punctae in the P3.p - P8.p cells but localized to the nucleus only in P5.p and P7.p. Following vulval precursor cell patterning, LIN-12::mNG::3xFlag was highly expressed in numerous somatic gonad cells, with nuclear localization in several spermatheca and uterine precursor cells.
