WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8041

• Pattern: Expression of both constructs (a) and (b) was documented in many different cell types, beginning in embryogenesis. The strongest expression of nhr-60::gfp was in seam cells. Seam cell expression of nhr-60::gfp started in embryonic precursors of these cells at about 260 minutes after fertilization and continued during all larval stages. It was present in the proliferating seam cells and expression levels were constant through larval development, disappearing in adult animals after seam cells undergo homotypic cell fusion. Additionally, authors saw strong GFP signals in four pharyngeal gland cells, VC4, VC5 neurons, and the hemaphrodite uterine vulval uv1 cells. In males, the two expressing nhr-60::gfp transgenes were expressed in all ray cells of the mature tail.
