WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9918

• Pattern: A transcriptional construct Ptrx-2::GFP was expressed only in AIYL/R and ASEL neurons as determined by the position of their cell bodies, morphology of their axons and dendrites and colocalization experiments with specific markers for these neurons. In some, but not all, transgenic animals a fourth neuron identified as ASER also displayed fluorescent signal. The translational construct Ptrx-2::trx-2::GFP was clearly expressed in muscle cells in the head, vulva or body wall where mitochondria display their typical tubular morphology. Indeed, the expression in head muscle cells precluded in most cases the identification of the AIYL/R and ASEL neurons labelling.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9918
• Subcellular Localization: Translational Ptrx-2::trx-2::GFP construct showed an expression pattern consistent with mitochondrial localization.
