WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13182

• Pattern: Fluorescence in the transcriptional ret- 1prom::GFP reporter strain was diffuse during early embryogenesis then robustly detected in several head neurons in the 2-fold stage of the embryo. Postembryonically, ret-1 is extensively expressed in the nervous system, with prominent expression in the nerve ring and VNC motor neurons and other VNC neurons, including the HSNs.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13182

	A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood.		larva Ce	WBls:0000023
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 460-520min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo is elongated and double fold. A stage between 1.5-fold embryo and 3-fold embryo.		2-fold embryo Ce	WBls:0000019
