WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr587

• Pattern: In early embryonic stages (28-350 cells), cells react with LIN_26 antibodies are ectoblasts. LIN-26 protein continuously present throughout embryonic, larval and adult life in all hypodermal cells, and in all of the glial-like socket and sheath cells associated with ciliated sensory organs. LIN-26 protein was also present in blast cells G1, Q and W. Expression in all three of these cells cease as they divided. Strong expression in Z1 and Z4 in young L1 larvae, weak expression in all cells in L2 larvae except the distal tip cells, and in the uterine cells of L4 larvae and adults.
• Primary Identifier: Expr587
• Remark: Antibodies to N-terminal 331 amino acids of LIN-26.
• Subcellular Localization: In all cases, antibodies against LIN-26 protein stained the nucleus.
