Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Pefl-3mCherry transgenic worms displayed expression beginning in multiple cells in embryos. The expression continued throughout the lifespan of the worm, with maximal expression appearing in the L1-L2 larval stages. Additionally, EFL-3 expression was observed consistently in head neurons from L1 to adult. In the ventral nerve cord, EFL-3 was most clearly expressed during the L2 stage. By crossing Pefl-3mCherry transgenic animals with integrated lines of VA- (Punc-4), VB- (Pdel-1), and VC- (Plin-11) specific GFP markers, it was determined that EFL-3 is expressed in the VA and VB neurons but not the VC neurons.
