Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  the ESCRT-II components -VPS-22, VPS-25 and VPS-36- are enriched in pharyngeal, vulval, and body wall muscles (BWM) and are globally detected in punctate structures. In BWM cells, ESCRT-II puncta are regularly aligned in parallel lines along the main axis of the cells. In vulval muscles, the ESCRT-II puncta are both cortical and cytoplasmic, but VPS-22::GFP is weaker and VPS-25::GFP is more diffuse. In pharyngeal muscles, ESCRT-II puncta localize at the sites of attachment of actin cables, similarly to the actin attachment protein Paxilin/PXL-1. Primary Identifier  Expr12775
