WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3409

• Pattern: In the vulval region, SYG-2::GFP was expressed in epithelial cells of the primary lineage (P6.p descendents) beginning at the mid to late L3 stage. The expression of SYG-2::GFP in the primary vulval epithelial cells increased as animals enter L4 stage, then disappeared within the first 6 hr of adulthood. This expression pattern matched the expression of syg-2 mRNA observed by in situ hybridization. During embryogenesis, SYG-2::GFP is expressed in a subset of neurons in the head and in body wall muscles. In the L1 and L2 larval stages, when many motor neuron synapses develop, SYG-2::GFP is expressed in head and body wall muscles and in punctate structures near the ventral nerve cord that may correspond to body wall muscle arms.
