  • transiently, during neuro-genesis
  • expressionin all developing cranial ganglia including the petrosal and vestibulocochlear ganglion, in inner and outer hair cells of the organ of Corti and in hair cells of the vestibular system. Expression domains in other sensory structures include the retina, Merkel cells of the developing skin and sensory cells of the tongue
