WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12612

• Pattern: The ddx-23::gfp fusion gene was expressed in a variety of cell types, including seam cells and the hyp7 syncytium, uterine cells,ventral nerve cord and neurons in the head and tail. The DDX- 23::GFP protein was localized to the nucleus but excluded from the nucleolus. Extensive GFP expression was also detected in the distal tip cell (DTC) and germ cells in the proximal gonad at the late L3/L4 stages.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12612
