WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8111

• Pattern: The ANT-1.4::GFP is expressed in a pair of neurons that sends a ciliary process to the tip of the head. Occasionally, green fluorescent protein (GFP) is also detected in the amphid socket and sheath cells. Expression is detected in one neuron located in the nerve cord identified as the VA11 motoneuron and occasionally in the rectal gland cell and at a lower level in an other motoneuron. The GFP signal is observed in the ventral nerve cord in neural processes that go to the nerve ring. The signal is also seen in a few body-wall muscle cells and the vulval muscle cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8111
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 6. ant-1.4 = T01B11.4
