WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12367

• Pattern: ulp-4 expression initiates in body wall muscles (BWMs) and hypodermal cells during embryonic development and is maintained throughout the worm's life. During the development from larval stages 1-3, ulp-4 is expressed in the pharynx and hypodermis. A second phase of ulp-4 expression in BWMs and hermaphroditic-specific neurons (HSNs) starts at L4 stage and continues through adulthood.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12367
• Subcellular Localization: In each tissue, ULP-4 protein initially localizes to the cell's nucleus and cytoplasm but accumulates later in development in intracellular compartments that resemble mitochondria. High-resolution optical cross-sections through the organelle suggest that ULP-4 accumulates in the mitochondrial matrix.
