TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Nematocytes (PubMed:23151943, PubMed:29424690). In late planulae, transcripts are found throughout the ectoderm in nematocytes, with high concentration of expressing cells in the oral pole (PubMed:29424690). In primary polyps, is expressed in nematocytes in the body wall and physa ectoderm and in the upper and lower pharynx (PubMed:29424690). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23151943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29424690}.
