Expression Pattern :

Pattern  pAK13 drove TAX-6 expression mostly in sensory neurons, including the thermosensory AFD neurons, the chemosensory ASE, AWA, and AWC neurons, and the osmosensory ASH neurons. pAK13 is expressed in ASI, ADF, ASH, ASK, ADL, AUA, PHA, PHB, AVE. It is also expressed in AFD, ASE, AWA, AWC, AVK, AIM, RMDV, AVA. Primary Identifier  Expr1823
Remark  Cells expressing TAX-6 were visualized using several tax-6::gfp fusion genes. The expression of tax-6 is under diverse transcriptional controls. Introducing pAK13 into tax-6 mutants rescued thermotaxis and all other defects. Subcellular Localization  TAX-6 appears to be expressed in the entire cytoplasm of these neurons. In head sensory neurons, for example, GFP fluorescence was visible at sensory cilia, dendrites, axons, and cell bodies.
