WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9102

• Pattern: Two independent transgenic strains were created that expressed GFP under the control of the ctn-1 promoter (Pctn-1) and slo-1 promoter (Pslo-1), respectively. The expression pattern of ctn-1 largely overlapped with that of slo-1. Specifically, both ctn-1 and slo-1 were expressed in many neurons and several types of muscles, including body-wall muscle, vulval muscle and stomatointestinal muscle. However, slo-1 appeared to be expressed in more neurons in the head than ctn-1, whereas ctn-1 was expressed in pharyngeal muscle cells and some other unidentified cells that did not express slo-1.
