Subcellular Localization  YFP::PXN-2 was expressed in epidermal cells at all stages, in vulval muscles and in a few neurons. In early embryonic epidermal elongation, most YFP::PXN-2 appeared to be intracellular in epidermal cells, in the locations that likely correspond to compartments of the secretory pathway. By late elongation, YFP::PXN-2 was also found in longitudinal striations adjacent to body wall muscle quadrants. As such longitudinal structures are not found inside the epidermis these are likely to represent localization to the basement membrane between the epidermis and muscles. Consistent with this interpretation, YFP::PXN-2 localized close to endogenous basement membrane components such as perlecan. In larval and adult stages, YFP::PXN-2 was faintly visible throughout the epidermis, in vulval muscles and in PVQ neurons.
