WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3990

• Pattern: Expression of this construct started at the end of gastrulation in a few neurons. The number of neurons expressing the AST-1::YFP construct increases until the 3-fold stage. Expression is maintained in the first larval stage, decreases during further development and is only weakly detectable in adults.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3990
• Subcellular Localization: The YFP signal in the embryo is initially confined to the nucleus, but is redistributed later in larval stages to spots outside the nucleus.
