WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9488

• Pattern: Transgenic animals expressed this reporter specifically in muscle. Strong expression was observed in muscle cells in embryos. Adult expression was seen in striated body-wall muscle along the length of the animal, especially in the head. Strong expression was also seen in the vulval muscles. Additional expression was observed in intestinal muscle, anal sphincter muscle and the sex-specific muscles of the male tail. No expression was observed in pharyngeal muscle.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9488
• Subcellular Localization: Sub-cellular localization within the body wall muscle: Nucleus only
