WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1019

• Pattern: Reporter construct is expressed primarily or exclusively in neurons or "endocrine/secretory" cells. GFP expression in non-neuronal tissues include the gut (frequently), specific somatic gonad cells, and in pharyngeal or vulval muscles (rarely). No expression is detected in hypodermal, body wall muscle or germ tissues. nlp-9 is expressed at head and tail neurons and VNC.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1019
