| Pattern | Cel-nas-6 is expressed in pharyngeal muscles, mc2 marginal cells, and hypodermal tissues (Park et al. 2010). We also generated C. elegans transgenic lines expressing Ppa-nas-6::T2A::Venus under the control of the Cel-nas-6 promoter to confirm the expression pattern of Cel-nas-6. Our reporter also showed the expression in hypodermis and pharyngeal muscles (pm2, pm6) and weak expression in mc2 marginal cells. In C. elegans, the nas-6 expression is not detected in arcade cells, epithelial cells, mc1/mc3 marginal cells, head neurons, and the pharyngeal-intestinal valve. | Primary Identifier | Expr16521 |
