| Pattern | CYK-1 is expressed in the excretory cell (EC) using translational green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions expressed from fosmids (Sarov et al., 2012). CYK-1::GFP is found in the cytoplasm and in punctate structures in many tissues. In the EC it accumulates at the actin-rich leading edge and in the cytoplasm. Localization of a functional Venus::CYK-1 specifically expressed in the EC displays similar accumulation, with visible punctate structures that also accumulate LifeAct::TagRFP. | Primary Identifier | Expr13168 |
| Subcellular Localization | CYK-1::GFP is found in the cytoplasm and in punctate structures in many tissues. In the EC it accumulates at the actin-rich leading edge and in the cytoplasm. |
