Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The NAS-37::GFP fusion protein was found in the cuticle, with high concentration in the anterior of the worm overlying Hyp5. It was also concentrated in the alae, vulval cuticle and cuticle of the rectum. In addition, the protein was abundantly expressed in the excretory duct cell. The protein began to appear in the anterior cuticle 4 hours before each molt, consistent with the transcriptional GFP fusion results (see Expr3124 and Expr3125). Despite high levels of transcription of nas-37 in hypodermal cells, high levels of protein accumulation were not observed in these cells. GFP fluorescence was also observed in shed cuticles, demonstrating that the fusion protein is indeed secreted and deposited into the old cuticle. Primary Identifier  Expr3126

a rigid external coating which is secreted by the hypodermis, seam and some transitional epithelial cells which covers the outer body, the major openings into the body cavity from the exterior, and two large sensory bristles, the male spicules. The cuticle of the spicules, the hook, and of some portions of the spicule channels is especially rigid and is probably sclerotized. Similar sclerotic features are occasionally noted in the ventral surface of the male tail fan. cuticle exoskeleton WBbt:0005755
