WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11809

• Pattern: Robust GFP expression of pnc-1a::exon1a::GFP was detected in head and pharyngeal muscle, the two ASK neurons, the two distal tip cells and the three rectal gland cells (RectD, RectVL and RectVR). Whereas the four uv1 cells did not express pnc-1a::exon1a::GFP, four adjacent uv2 cells had moderate levels of GFP expression. Low levels of pnc-1a::exon1a::GFP expression were also detected in the vulval muscle. The pnc-1a reporter overlaps in expression pattern with the pnc-1b reporter only in head muscle and perhaps vulval muscle.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11809
