Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  tbc-8 is exclusively expressed in neurons including the head and tail neurons as well as neurons in the ventral nerve cord (VNC). Primary Identifier  Expr10033
Subcellular Localization  Fluorescently labeled TBC-8 showed a cytosolic localization with some punctate membrane staining. Partial localization of TBC-8 was observed with medial (mannosidase II) and trans-Golgi (APT-9) markers and an almost complete co-localization with the early endosomal marker RAB-5. However, we could not observe any localization of TBC-8 to RAB-7-positive late endosomes. This suggests that TBC-8 acts at the Golgi-endosomal interface.
