WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8997

• Pattern: Expression of this reporter transgene was observed in head muscles and in the glia-like GLR cells, which are connected to the head muscles by gap junctions, and weaker expression was seen in many unidentified head neurons. Strong expression was seen in the ALM and AVM mechanosensory neurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8997
• Remark: Picture: Fig 4B.
