WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8986

• Pattern: Expression of epg-1::gfp was evident at the 8-cell stage and persisted throughout embryogenesis. EPG-1::GFP was diffusely localized in the cytoplasm and was present in most, if not all, cells during embryogenesis. After hatching, strong expression was observed in neurons, including nerve ring cells, neurons in the tail region and DD/VD motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord. EPG-1::GFP accumulated in both cell bodies and axons of DD/VD neurons and several other neurons in the body region. The epg-1::gfp reporter was also expressed in some non-neuronal cell types, including body wall muscle and pharyngeal muscle.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8986
• Remark: Picture: Fig 5. epg-1 = D2007.5 in this paper.
• Subcellular Localization: EPG-1::GFP was diffusely localized in the cytoplasm.
