WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1396

• Pattern: The earliest detectable expression of UNC-115::GFP was in neurons and epidermis at about 300 min postfertilization, when the embryo begins to elongate, and axons begin to grow. UNC-115::GFP and the shorter fusion GFPS was expressed in most or all neurons throughout development. UNC-115::GFP expression was also observed in non neuronal cells, including the epidermal syncytium hyp7, the head and tail epidermal cells, the excretory canal cell, the pharynx, and the developing vulva, but not in the lateral epidermal seam cells or the ventral epidermal P cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1396
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-115::GFP protein was present uniformly in neuronal cell bodies and processes and was excluded from nuclei. The protein was also present at high levels in the growth cones of developing axons as they extended to their targets and in cell-cortex-associated plaques along the excretory canals as well as plaques at the junctions of epidermal cells.
