WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8970

• Pattern: GFP expression was observed in several neurons including head neurons, motor neurons located in the ventral nerve cord, HSN and CAN neurons, and tail neurons. However, rep-1 does not seem to be expressed in all the neurons. Not only was GFP involved in the neuronal expression, it was also expressed in various muscles such as body-wall, pharyngeal, intestinal and anal sphincter, in addition to the seam cells, hypodermis and the intestine.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8970
• Remark: Picture: Fig 7.
