WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13814

• Pattern: Strong cav-1 promoter activity was observed in developing embryos as well as in all larval stages. During larval development, the signal was most prominent in and around the pharynx (including the nerve ring), along the worm's ventral cord, and in the tail. In adult worms cav-1 is foremost expressed in neurons. Higher magnification showed prominent cav-1 expression in the nerve ring, implying the existence of caveolae in neurons of this cluster.
