Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  As expected, localization of mkate2::HIM-4 to the pharyngeal basement membrane was observed at the L1 stage. In contrast to the uniform localization on the basement membrane of type IV collagen or nidogen, which are major components of the basement membrane, that of mkate2::HIM-4 was polarized at the anterior part of the pharyngeal basement membrane. A unique polarized localization pattern was also observed in the pharyngeal basement membrane at stage L4. These observations indicate that polarized HIM-4 localization in the anterior part of the pharyngeal BM is maintained throughout the L1-L4 stages. The localization was also observed at the rachis during gonadal development at the L4 stage; this observation was consistent with that of previous reports. Primary Identifier  Expr15292
