WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2689

• Pattern: UNC-61 localized in embryos of later developmental stages. UNC-61 was enriched in the developing nervous system. In 1.5-fold embryos, localization to the developing nerve ring (not yet a complete ring) was apparent, with faint staining also seen in the ventral cord. In 3-fold embryos, enrichment was seen in the now completely ring-shaped nerve ring, and in some associated neuronal processes.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2689
• Remark: UNC-61 localization in early embryonic stages was described in Expr2319.
