WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12239

• Pattern: Broad and possibly ubiquitous expression is first visible during gastrulation. Post-embryonically, LIN-23 reporter fusions are expressed in many but not all neurons (e.g., no expression is observed in commissural motor neurons), in body wall and enteric muscles, and in hypodermal cells. The fusion protein is excluded from the nucleus and is uniformly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The protein also shows uniform distribution along axons. LIN-23 expression is maintained in all tissues throughout adulthood.
