PatternIn males, MAB-23::GFP is observed in several sex-specific cell types during larval development and in the adult, including the A-type ray sensory neurons, ventral male-specific muscles, and unidentified neurons of the male posterior ventral nerve cord. MAB-23::GFP is also detected in a limited number of non-sex-specific tissues in the adult male, including 6-8 unidentified neurons of the head, ventral body wall muscle, and the PHCL/R neurons. It is transiently expressed during larval development in the hindgut and in the tail spike. Many of these MAB-23::GFP-positive tissues have identifiable defects in mab-23 males (ray neurons, tail hypodermis, sex muscles, and hindgut). In adult hermaphrodites, the same set of non-sex-specific tissues are MAB-23::GFP positive as in the male. In addition, MAB-23::GFP is expressed in several hermaphrodite-specific tissues that contribute to the egg-laying apparatus, namely the ventral uterus and spermatheca of the oviduct and the Hermaphrodite Specific Neurons(HSN).
