WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13760

• Pattern: A GFP construct driven by a 4-kb sax-3 promoter revealed a wide sax-3 expression pattern in the nervous system. Psax-3::GFP is present in both RMED and RMEV neurons. sax-3 expression begins around the midembryonic stage (350 min) and is restricted to the anterior region of an embryo, where the neurons or neuroblast cells are clustered. SAX-3::GFP is distributed on the membrane surfaces of those cells. When embryos progressed to the late-embryonic stage (500 min), SAX-3::GFP is detected on RME cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13760
• Subcellular Localization: SAX-3::GFP is distributed on the membrane surfaces of neuroblasts.
