WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1255

• Pattern: GFP fluorescence is observed in several muscle cell types of the transformants, including body-wall muscle cells, terminal bulb muscles of the pharynx, vulval and uterine muscle, diagonal muscles of the male tail, the anal sphincter muscle, and anal depressor muscles. GFP expression is variably observed in unidentified neurons in the head. GFP expression first observed in body-wall and pharyngeal muscle cells in 1.5-fold embryos, approximately the time when twitching of embryonic body wall muscles begins. The corpus muscles of the pharynx did not express GFP.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1255
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
