WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16381

• Pattern: To characterize gmap-1 expression pattern, we generated a transcriptional reporter strain, where 3772 bp of gmap-1 promoter drives GFP expression. In this strain, GFP was expressed in the hypodermal syncytium (hyp7) and other hypodermal cells of the head and tail. We also observed GFP expression in hypodermis precursors at all developmental stages from late embryo to adulthood, including at the dauer stage, an alternative 3rd larval stage of C. elegans promoted by harsh conditions. However, GFP was never observed in specialized epithelial cells such as the seam cells, vulval epithelium, excretory pore, excretory duct, and rectal epithelium.
