WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1336

• Pattern: UNC-104::GFP was expressed consistently throughout the nervous system. Distinct fluorescence was observed in neurons in the head, in the nerve ring, in the nerve cords, around the vulva, and in the tail. UNC-104::GFP was expressed during most stages of development, from late embryo to adult. Although the overall expression pattern was similar in all transgenic animals, variability was observed in the actual amount of fluorescent protein that was expressed.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1336
• Remark: late embryo (author) = fully-elongated embryo (curator)
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-104::GFP was found in neuronal processes and the cytoplasm, but not in nuclei. In some cases, the neuronal processes could be classified into either axons or dendrites, but there were no recognizable differences in UNC-104 expression between axons and dendrites.

	The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo.		fully-elongated embryo Ce	WBls:0000021
	A developemental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until death.		postembryonic Ce	WBls:0000022
