WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15030

• Pattern: In addition to male sex muscles, EGL-2::YFP is also expressed on the cell bodies, neural processes, and sensory endings of the male ray, post-cloacal, and spicule sensory neurons. the protractor muscles' EGL-2::YFP levels also increased between 24 and 48 h in wild-type males.
