WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1464

• Pattern: In wild-type animals, the TTX-3GFP fusion protein is expressed in the cell bodies and axonal processes of one pair of bilaterally symmetric head neurons. These neurons were identified as the AIY left and right interneurons. During embryogenesis, ttx-3GFP expression is dynamic; it can be detected in up to ten different cells, depending on the developmental stage. According to their characteristic morphology in late stage embryos. The other eight embryonic cells are the anterior two rows of radially oriented head muscles, which send out characteristic muscle arms into the nerve ring. ttx-3GFP is expressed at larval and adult stages only in the AIY interneurons.
