WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14507

• Pattern: Type IV collagen localizes to the BM and is expressed primarily in the body wall muscles, with the neuronal ring ganglion, spermatheca, uterine mucles, vulval muscles, and the distal tip cell of the somatic gonad also contributing collagen during specific larval stages.
• Primary Identifier: Expr14507
