WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13830

• Pattern: ast-1 is expressed in the HSN at L4 coinciding with the onset of differentiation. ast-1 is also expressed in other neurons but not in the ADF serotonergic neuron. AST-1 initiates its expression at postnatal stages (L3 larva). ast-1 expression is maintained in HSN after differentiation.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13830
