Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  We observed that, in WT animals, ATG-9 endogenously tagged with GFP (ATG-9::GFP) is strongly expressed in the nerve ring , as well as in the somatic sheath and spermatheca. We also found strong expression of ATG-9::GFP in the hypodermis, a tissue that contains abundant LDs detectable by BODIPY 493 staining. Primary Identifier  Expr16007

a structural (glial) cell which forms an specialized environment surrounding the sensory ending(s) of one or more neurons; sometimes accompanied by a more distal socket cell. In early development of the sensory nerves and of the nerve ring some sheath cells (cephalics and labials) may also provide a substrate for axon guidance neuronal sheath cell pocket cell WBbt:0005811
