Comment: Expression is observed in tissue surrounding the mouth hook.
Expression was first seen in 12-14hr old first instar larvae. Expression was detected by X-gal histochemistry in DN2, but not DN1, in L2 larvae. Throughout larval development, expression is seen in cells which do not cycle per found in the ventral region of the brain.
report comment: In addition to 5\' regulatory sequences, the first 630 amino acids of per protein fused to lacZ coding region.
