Expression Pattern :

Pattern  We observed SMS-5::YFP to be expressed in only two tissues: the spermatheca and the pharynx. In the pharynx, SMS-5::YFP is expressed in the muscle and marginal cells, with an enrichment at cell-cell junctions, and a clear enrichment in the anterior half (corpus) relative to the posterior half (isthmus and terminal bulb). Animals mosaic for the transgene show SMS-5::YFP expression in the marginal cells. Primary Identifier  Expr14868
