WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr24

• Pattern: Expression is seen in the excretory duct cell, a component of the so called 'excretory system' thought to be involved in osmoregulation and secretion. The pattern has two 'modes': one is defined by nuclear localisation of the reporter signal; the other has staining evident at the lumenal surface of the excretory duct, stretching along the duct to the excretory pore. This latter mode seems to be associated with animals in which the cuticle has a ruffled appearance, and thus may be moulting. Staining is seen in all post-embryonic stages. The lumen of the excretory duct stains L1 to adult.
