WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1772

• Pattern: enh3.4 was able to drive an early embryonic GFP expression pattern indistinguishable from that of the endogenous ceh-13. In comma-stage embryos, enh3.4 recapitulated a large part of the normal ceh-13 expression pattern, including expression in cells of the future VNC and embryonic dorsal hypodermal and body wall muscle cells. However, some ectopic reporter gene expression was observed in the posterior endoderm and in a few nonidentified cells of the posterior part of comma-stage embryos.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1772
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. See Expr1771 for expression pattern of pMF1 and enhancer analysis. The enhancer region of ceh-13 contains different regulatory regions that are responsible for various aspects of the developmental expression pattern of this gene.
