schlank reporter is ubiquitously expressed in embryos from early embryonic stages onward. Strong upregulation occurs in specific cells and organs. schlank is strongly expressed in a segmentally repeated pattern in the epidermis, in the ventral nerve cord, and in the developing brain. It is also found in the ectodermal foregut and hindgut, the endodermal anterior and posterior midgut, and in the posterior spiracles. It is also observed in sensory organs.
