| Pattern | In contrast to selt-1.1, both Pselt-1.2::selt-1.2::gfp and Pselt-1.2::gfp reporters were expressed exclusively in a single pair of bilateral symmetric sensory neurons located in the amphid, the main chemosensory organ of C. elegans. The neuron was identified as AWB by axon morphology, cell body position and by the co-localization with DiI dye. Since the promoter sequence of selt-1.2 comprises only 0.6 kbp, the authors generated a second transcriptional reporter of selt-1.2 using 2 kbp upstream of its coding sequence. This additional selt-1.2 reporter was also expressed in AWB neurons, exclusively. | Primary Identifier | Expr13335 |
| Subcellular Localization | Although SELENOT has been reported to be associated to the ER and the hydrophobic region that interrupts the Trx domain is, presumably, responsible for this localization, Pselt-1.2::selt-1.2::gfp translational reporter is present in AWB soma, dendrites and axon. |
