| Primary Identifier | Expr4763 | Subcellular Localization | No substantial co-localisation was detected with pre-synaptic markers. Thus cav-1 is unlikely to be presynaptic within the VNC. Confocal images of worms carrying both cav-1::YFP and unc-63::CFP revealed that CAV-1::YFP and UNC-63::CFP co-localise in some parts of the nervous system and in structures that are either part of, or close to, the VNC. The latter localisation suggests that CAV-1 and UNC-63 co-localise in muscle arms. This pattern may include localisation to the post-synaptic regions of NMJs and extrasynaptic positioning. Within the nervous system as a whole, obvious area without co-localisation also exist, these are particularly evident in neurons that express only unc-63 and not cav-1 or vice versa, confirming that cav-1 is not expressed in all neurons. |
