WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16514

• Pattern: Next, we looked for expression of zyx-1 isoforms as reported via extrachromosomal arrays by Luo and colleagues. In line with their report, we also observe the zyx-1 long isoform predominantly in tail neurons, and faintly in body wall muscle, and additionally also faintly in the pharynx, and more brightly in an unidentified structure in the head. Interestingly, the short zyx-1b isoform is also strongly expressed in body wall and vulval muscle (Luo and colleagues), where we observe azyx-1 expression.
