WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9364

• Pattern: The tni-2 and tni-3 genes were also expressed in the same cells of body wall, vulval and anal muscles, but while tni-2 was uniformly expressed in body wall muscles, the tni-3 gene was strongly expressed in the head, vulval and anal muscles. Expression of tni-2::gfp was observed in the vulval and anal muscles in addition to those muscles detected with tni-2::lacZ. This was the result of the inclusion of a longer 5' upstream region of tni-2 that includes the NdE-box enhancer for vulval expression.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9364
• Subcellular Localization: Sub-cellular localization within the body wall muscle: Myofilaments +/- Dense bodies
