WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11215

• Pattern: In embryos, Ptbx-2::gfp was expressed in pharyngeal precursors beginning at the 100-200 cell stage, and GFP remained detectable in the pharynx until near hatching. During larval and adult stages Ptbx-2::gfp was strongly expressed in several neurons in the head and occasionally neurons in the tail, but it was not expressed in the pharynx or other tissues.
