WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2398

• Pattern: The lin-23 cDNA hybridizes to a single transcript of approx. 2.8 kb with the highest level of expression in embryos and gravid adults. In situ hybridization revealed high levels of lin-23 mRNA in the germ line of adults and early embryos. Zygotes have high levels of lin-23 mRNA indicating the presence of maternally provided mRNA. The level of lin-23 mRNA decreases during embryogenesis and was undetectable above background levels in larvae.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2398
