WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr702

• Pattern: Antibody staining is detected in the anal depressor, anal sphincter and intestinal muscles and in the contractile sheath in proximal region of the somatic gonad. Staining is also observed in the vulval muscle cells and neighbouring body wall muscle cells. In addition, staining is observed in the adult male sex muscles along the lateral and ventral surfaces.
• Primary Identifier: Expr702
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
