WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1234

• Pattern: Predominantly expressed in hypodermal cells, especially in the posterior. Frequently, staining was seen only in a few cells in the tail, especially in larvae. Many animals showed a strong anterior-posterior gradient in staining, the tail being strongly stained, and the anterior being weakly stained or unstained. No staining in the ventral nerve cord, head or tail in either hermaphrodites or males. Apparent staining in ventral hypodermal cells derived from Pn.p cells associated with the ventral nerve cord. Staining occasionally seen also in the body wall muscle nuclei in adults.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1234
• Remark: K08F8.4 = bas-2 --WS59. K08F8.4 is described as aromatic amino acid hydroxylase gene by the authors.
