Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Using ARX-2::GFP (an Arp2 homolog in C. elegans) knock-in animals, we showed that ARX-2::GFP fluorescence is specifically localized in the socket cells but is not detected in the cilia or the sheath cells, which is identical to the localization pattern of GFP::WSP-1A [Expr15180]. Primary Identifier  Expr15181

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell. socket cell   WBbt:0005750
