Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  STN-2::GFP is expressed in the nervous system and in body-wall, vulval, and enteric muscles. In neurons, STN-2::GFP is localized to the cell bodies and their processes. Primary Identifier  Expr8959
Remark  Picture: Fig 7. Subcellular Localization  While it is apparent that STN-2::GFP is localized in the cytoplasm, the robust expression of STN-2::GFP makes it difficult to rule out membrane localization of the protein. Similar to neurons, STN-2::GFP is largely cytoplasmic in body-wall muscles. However, a subpopulation of STN-2::GFP localized to distinct muscle structures that include sarcomeres as well as in muscle membrane boundaries.
