WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1545

• Pattern: It was also detected in single sarcomere muscles. It is located in the anal depressor muscle at the ventral attachment of the muscle, apposing the anus. Staining was detected along the middle strut that straddles the anus. beta-pat-3 was also detected on the ventral surface of the sphincter muscle and the basal surface of the intestinal muscles. In the vulva muscles, beta-pat-3 was located ventrally, in apposition to the opening of the vulva, and laterally, along the uterus. It was also detected in the uterine muscles localized to the lateral ridge. No staining was detected in pharyngeal muscle.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1545
• Subcellular Localization: beta-pat-3 is localized to the dense bodies, the M-lines, and the borders between cells.
