Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Immuno-histochemistry experiments reveal that DAF-18/PTEN and VAB-1/EphR are both expressed in the Z2/Z3 germline precursor cells, oocytes, as well as neuronal tissues. In the neuronal tissues, VAB-1/EphR is localized to the ventral nerve cord, nerve ring, and some head neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr8834
Remark  In the overexpressing line (quIs18) DAF-18/PTEN's neuronal expression is restricted to a subset of the head amphid neurons and is expressed weakly in the nerve cord. DAF-18::GFP was also detected in the amphids and ventral nerve cord. Picture: Fig 2. Subcellular Localization  VAB-1/EphR is expressed on the membrane of the proximal oocytes, whereas DAF-18/PTEN appears to show membrane and nuclear expression of multiple oocytes in both hermaphrodites and females.
