Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP expression was not observed in the intestine of transgenic worms expressing the Pddo-3::GFP construct. In these worms, GFP expression appeared in probable head mesodermal cells and unidentified cells in the head during the L3 to adult stages, in vulval muscles during the L4 to adult stages, and in the hypodermis and gonad sheath cells only during the adult stage. In the gonad sheath cells, the GFP signal in the U-shaped region was much brighter than in the other regions. In male worms expressing the Pddo-3::GFP construct, GFP expression was observed in probable head mesodermal cells and unidentified cells in the head during stages L3 to adult, and in hypodermis, seminal vesicle and tail cells only during the adult stage. Thus, a sex-specific difference was observed in DDO-3 expression and localization patterns. Primary Identifier  Expr9988
