WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11813

• Pattern: Confocal microscopy analysis revealed that during early elongation, PIX-1::GFP is expressed in the dorsal, lateral and ventral hypodermal cells. Throughout early elongation, PIX-1::GFP is located at the trans-epithelial attachment structures (hemidesmosomes) in dorsal and ventral hypodermal cells, as previously reported and is also homogeneously distributed in the cytoplasm and at the cell periphery of all expressing cells. Interestingly, at the comma stage, PIX-1::GFP expression appears to be reduced in several posterior dorsal hypodermal cells. Concomitant with the fusion of these cells, around the 1.2-fold stage, the expression of PIX-1::GFP appears to be reduced in the fused cells.
