WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4762

• Pattern: CAV-1::GFP was expressed in most, if not all, cells in embryos. It was predominantly localised to, or close to, the membrane in these cells although some small intracellular bodies were also visible. This widespread expression continued into the early larval stages, but with maturation, CAV-1::GFP became restricted to most, but not all, neurons. Staining was seen in the ventral nerve cord (VNC), and was also frequently observed in the commissures. Of particular interest was the punctate nature of labelling which is most obvious in the VNC, this staining suggests possible localisation to synapses.
