WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1628

• Pattern: In wild-type animals, the mab-21::gfp fluorescent signal was first observed in embryos at the beginning of gastrulation. The expressing cells were dorsal hyp 7 cells before their fusion. From this stage on, the signal could be detected in other larval and adult animals in tissues including hypodermal cells, a group of neuronal cells near the pharyngeal bulbs, neurons along the ventral nerve cord, some body wall muscles and the ray cells. Neuronal cells around the anal ganglia region identified as HOA, HOB in the males as well as PLM, PQR, and PVC. In addition to two unidentified anterior neurons, AVM and VA3 were also confirmed to express mab-21::gfp. The mab-21::gfp fusion transgene was expressed in neuron A of all rays, neuron B of rays 3 and 6 and more importantly, the structural cell of only ray 6.
