WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13615

• Pattern: Transgenic worms were created that expressed a 3-ureidopropionase-GFP fusion protein under the control of the 3-ureidopropionase promoter. GFP signals were detected during all stages of C. elegans develop- ment (larvae L1-4 and adult hermaphrodites). Strong GFP expression was observed in dense bodies of striated body wall muscle cells. Colocalization experiments using 4',6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole- and Hoechst staining indicated that 3-ureidopropionase is not localized in the nuclei of muscle cells.
