WormMine

WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In agreement with a previous study (Expr8228), GFP fluorescence was observed in the pharyngeal, bodywall and vulval muscles. In addition, eat-6 expression was found in many neurons, including the ventral cord ACh neurons, as well as in several head and tail neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr12845
