WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2356

• Pattern: During the L4 stage, ceh-2::gfp was expressed in vulB1 and vulB2. vulB1 expressed GFP consistently in all animals, whereas vulB2 expressed GFP in some animals only. From the late L4 to the adult, the expression was observed in vulC. The expression in vulB cells was variable in the adult.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2356
• Remark: Compelete expression pattern in vulva is described. No detail on expression pattern in other life stages or tissues. Reporter gene fusion type not specified. The ceh-2 promoter fragment that expresses in the vulva also contains the predicted upstream gene C27A12.6. Therefore, the ceh-2 gene may not be the functionally relevant target of the regulatory element responsible for vulval expression, although the gfp fusion point is in ceh-2.
