Expression Pattern :

Pattern  CeIA-2::GFP was easily detected in a restricted set of 13 neurons. CeIA-2::GFP was strongest in the ALA neuron and easily detectable in the VCs, HSNs, and PHCs. A lower level of GFP was also detected in the uv1 secretory cells. The pattern of GFP expression from this reporter gene likely under-represents the normal CeIA-2 distribution because of previous transcriptional reporter results and very faint GFP that can be observed in additional neurons under certain conditions. The expression pattern of the integrated strain was similar to that seen with extrachromosomal arrays. Despite integration, there was still a degree of mosaic expression, most notably in the VC motor neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr2900
Remark  CeIA-2 = ida-1. Subcellular Localization  Pida-1CeIA-2::GFP was observed in neuronal cell bodies and in puncta along the length of axons of neurons in which it was expressed. Animals expressing this CeIA-2::GFP transgene were stained with an antibody against synaptotagmin. The punctate GFP reporter pattern in axons colocalized with synaptotagmin staining, suggesting clustering of CeIA-2::GFP to synaptic regions.
