Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The clp-4 reporter was active in neurons and co-localized with both the pan-neural unc-119::gfp and the GABAergic unc-47::gfp reporters. In addition, the clp-4 reporter was expressed in cells of the ventral and dorsal nerve cords. We next co-expressed the clp reporters with the body wall muscle marker myo-3p::gfp::nls and found that the clp-4 promoter was active in muscle. mRFP expressed from the clp-4 gene promoter also co-localized with a pes-6::gfp reporter, a marker for the excretory cell, which serves as the renal system of the worm. The expression pattern remained unchanged over the course of larval development through to adulthood. Primary Identifier  Expr10018
