WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1577

• Pattern: High levels of expression are found only in the six touch cells. In addition, lower levels of expression are seen in some other neurons, including the FLP, PVD, and BDU cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1577
• Subcellular Localization: The cell body and neuronal process contain mec-7 antigen, but the nucleus does not.
