WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9644

• Pattern: mRNAs for VAB-10A1 and VAB-10B1, which include the entire N-terminal ABD, could be transcribed from upstream of exon 1, whereas the mRNAs for VAB-10A2 and VAB-10B2, which lack the N-terminal half of the ABD, could be transcribed from downstream of exon 5. The vab-10A1 and B1 are expressed in the distal tip cells, pharynx and body wall muscles, whereas the vab-10A2 and B2 are expressed in epidermis.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9644
