WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11203

• Pattern: The most prominent HPK-1::mCherry fluorescence was observed in the nucleus of cells in the head, likely pharyngeal cells and hypodermal cells. Interestingly, no expression was apparent in the germ cells, however, expression was observed in the nuclei of the somatic gonad, namely the sheath cells and the DTCs.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11203
• Subcellular Localization: Expression of HPK-1 was predominantly nuclear and in some larger cells a nuclear speckle pattern was observed.
