WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11948

• Primary Identifier: Expr11948
• Subcellular Localization: A polyclonal anti-polycystin-2 peptide antibody confirmed expression of polycystin-2 in the cytoplasm of the cell bodies and neuronal processes of 4 male-specific cephalic neurons in the head. In the male tail, staining was seen in the cell bodies of both sets of 9 neurons that innervate the sensory rays on each side of the tail as well as in the HOA and HOB neurons that innervate the hook, used to detect the hermaphrodite vulva.
