WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr605

• Pattern: GFP staining is observed in many neurons including some amphid neurons and neurons in ventral nerve cord. The cell bodies of VA, VB, DA, and DB neurons shows fluorescence. The amphid neuron is identified as AFD. Body wall muscles and neurons in the pharyngeal region also express GFP. In addition, expression is detected in CAN and DVA neuron at the anal region of the tail . In hermaphrodites this expression pattern is seen from L1 larvae through to adulthood. Male specific expression in neurons of the tail region.
• Primary Identifier: Expr605
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). dbl-1 = cet-1 --WS59.
