WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15785

• Pattern: tat-6::GFP was expressed in cells in the head and tail but in the center of the worm, expression was restricted to a proximal part of the gonad. Expression in the gonad was absent in early and mid-L4 stage worms but was robust in young adults. Prior to ovulation, fluorescence was seen in a region at the junction between the spermatheca and the uterus. In hermaphrodites in which ovulation had occurred, GFP fluorescence was seen partially surrounding the distal-most egg in the uterus. The change in the distribution of TAT-6::GFP fluorescence we observed during the first ovulation suggested that TAT-6 might be expressed in sujc.
