 | | Unc phenotype varies from complete paralysis to moderately impaired movement.The hypodermis is a single layer of epithelial cells that encloses the animal and is responsible for secretion of the protective cuticle. |
 | | One candidate tissue for producing an hbl-1-dependent signal is the syncytial hypodermis (termed hyp7) that surrounds the seam, abuts the VPCs, and is a major contributor to cuticle synthesis. |
 | | During the L1 stage, HBL-1/GFP expression is observed in the hypodermal syncitial cells (e.g., hyp7), in the ventral hypodermal cells (P cells), and weakly in the lateral hypodermal seam cells (H, V, and T cells). |
