WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4682

• Pattern: In early embryos EFN-4::GFP is widely expressed in ventral neuroblasts prior to epidermal enclosure (see Expr2300). In contrast, PLX-2 reporters were expressed in a much smaller number of ventral neuroblasts. Following epidermal enclosure PLX-2::GFP reporters were expressed in neurons and in a subset of posterior lateral and ventral epidermal cells; these were identified as the lateral cell QV5 and the ventral epidermal cells P9-12.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4682
• Remark: In addition to its widespread neuronal expression, EFN-4::GFP is also expressed in anterior and posterior epidermal cells, including the lateral epidermal cells H0 and QV5, the leading ventral epidermal cells of the anterior, and the posterior three pairs of ventral epidermal cells (P7 - 12).
