WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2839

• Pattern: T20B3.2 transcripts were detected in the body-wall musculature, but expression in hermaphrodites appeared limited to the anteriormost body-wall muscle cells. Expression in the body-wall muscle of males was less restricted, typically including posterior body-wall muscle cells, in addition to those at the head. T20B3.2 transcripts were found also in the vulval muscles of hermaphrodites and the sex muscles of males.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2839
• Remark: No detailed description on expression pattern in other life stages.
