WormMine

WS297

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In transgenic worms carrying the vha-5::GFP construct, a fluorescent signal was strongly detected in an H-shaped excretory cell and the pharynx at the L2 and adult stages. In addition to these cells, the vha-5::GFP fusion was found in hypodermal cells around the vulvae of adult worms. Primary Identifier  Expr2403
Remark  Antibody staining result showed that VHA-5 expression was not observed in the pharynx, where the vha-5::GFP reporter was active, indicating that the expression may be due to an increased copy number of the reporter plasmid. See Expr2406. Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
