Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr12259 let-756 expression is observed in pharyngeal and body muscle cells as well as in some neurons (CAN or cephalic). LET-756 shares features with FGFs of different families, such as expression in cytoplasm and nucleus of muscles and neurons.
    Expr14409 Expression of GFP under the control of the C09F5.1 promoter was observed through all developmental stages. In 3-fold embryos, GFP was localized in seam cells and hypodermal cells. In the larval stage, strong expression was detected in the sensillar region (lip), seam cells, vulval cells, intestinal cells, and tail neurons. Expression in the hypodermal cells gradually decreased as the worms progressed to L3 and L4 and almost no expression was detected in the hypodermal cells of young adults. During vulva formation, GFP was detected in a subset of vulval cells (mainly vulA) in L4. After completion of vulval development, overall GFP signal in the vulval region decreased and only persisted at the vulval junction.  
    Expr14410 GFP expression in this transgenic worm exhibited patterns similar to those observed in PC09F5.1::GFP (Expr14409). C. elegans has six symmetrical "lips" surrounding the mouth and the sensillar region contains various neurons (six IL1s, six IL2s, two OLLs, four OLQs, and cephalic neurons) that play general roles in mechanosensation or chemosensation. C09F5.1-GFP was localized in the six sensillar lips and in the head region in a neuron-like pattern. In addition, C09F5.1-GFP was detected in the vulval junction and the tail neuron, which was also observed in the PC09F5.1:GFP transgenic worm.
