| Pattern | osm-5::gfp is expressed in ciliated sensory neurons in both hermaphrodites and males. osm-5::gfp expression coincides with the timing of ciliogenesis and continues throughout adulthood. | Primary Identifier | Expr1345 |
| Subcellular Localization | OSM-5::GFP is cytoplasmically localized in the basodendritic (cell body and dendrite) compartment of sensory neurons and has the highest concentration in ciliated endings. Axonal expression is not observed. In contrast, a nonfunctional, nonrescuing OSM-5::GFP fusion protein lacking the TPR domains (OSM-5 TPR::GFP) is not observed in sensory cilia, but rather is uniformly distributed throughout the neuron, including the axon. |
