WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13425

• Pattern: Previous studies have shown that GRK-2 is expressed in various sensory and ventral nerve chord neurons, interneurons, and vulval muscle. We further characterized GRK-2 expression in the vulval area utilizing a grk-2::GFP transgenic strain and found that it was expressed in HSNs, VC4/VC5 neurons, and vulval muscle cells.
