Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GLB-33 is exclusively expressed in the nervous system. The GLB-33 protein was present in a large number of neurons in the head and tail region, the nerve ring, the ventral and dorsal nerve cord, and several lateral nerve cords. However, despite its wide expression in the nervous system, GLB-33 did not seem to be expressed in any of the amphid, cephalic, labial, or phasmid sensory neurons; the typical expression pattern for these neurons was not observed, nor was any overlap seen between GFP-expression and DiI-staining, a compound that selectively stained several amphid and phasmid neurons. This indicates that GLB- 33 is expressed in motor- or interneurons, which are involved in locomotory behaviour or information processing, and not in neurons that sense environmental cues. Primary Identifier  Expr12260
Subcellular Localization  The expression pattern of the reporter was in line with the membrane bound localization of the receptor. The membrane localization of GLB- 33 was confirmed by the transfection of glb-33-gfp in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
