Enhancer trap expression is observed in the presumptive mesoderm at the onset of gastrulation and in the mesoderm at germ band retraction. Later, expression becomes restricted to myogenic cells. Expression is observed in precursors of the somatic muscles, pharyngeal muscles, visceral muscles and cardiac cells. Expression is also seen in muscle attachment sites.
Insertion of a P{lArB} element in the first intron, 354bp downstream of the first exon. The P insertion is in a negative orientation with repect to how gene transcription.
