| Pattern | While the expression of VGLU-2::GFP is similar during larval and adult stages inwell fed animals, the expression and localization pattern of VGLU-2::GFP is alteredsubstantially in dauer stage animals. Expression from the AIA neurons disappears and in the epidermis, the localization of VGLU-2::GFP appears much weaker and more diffuse. Upon recovery from the dauer stage, VGLU-2::GFP expression andlocalization resumes to the state observed in animals that have not gone through the dauer stage. Starvation alone does not affect VGLU-2::GFP expression and localization. | Primary Identifier | Expr14917 |
| Subcellular Localization | vglu-2::gfp is exclusively expressed in a single interneuron class, AIA, where it localizes to vesicular structures in the soma, but not along the axon. In syncytial epidermis and in uterine tissue vglu-2::gfp most prominently localizes to early endosomes, and to a lesser degree apical clathrin-coated pits, TGN, and late endosomes. |
