Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  SIR-2.3 was expressed ubiquitously in C. elegans and exhibited a particularly high expression in the pharynx and bodywall muscles. Strong SIR-2.3::GFP expression was detected in a subset of cells in the head which did not costain with the neuronal marker DiI. Further, the fusion protein was seen in somatic cells of the gonad. Expression of SIR-2.3::GFP started early in embryogenesis (approximately at the 100 cell stage). Primary Identifier  Expr10775
Subcellular Localization  SIR-2.3 localized to mitochondria.

The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus. somatic gonad somatic germline WBbt:0005785
