WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1677

• Pattern: Expression from the transgene is ubiquitous in somatic tissues including hypodermis, muscles, neurons, pharynx, gut, excretory canal, somatic gonad, vulva and presumably all cells. However, even using complex arrays to help prevent transgene silencing in the germline, no CLK-2::GFP expression could be detected in the germline.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1677
• Subcellular Localization: A full-length CLK-2::GFP fusion protein that complements the mutant phenotype for development, behavior and viability at 25C, is localized virtually exclusively to the cytoplasm. The pattern is unlikely to be a consequence of overexpression as very small transgene concentrations was used in complex arrays. However, although the nucleus appears dark in the fluorescent images, it is still possible that it contains very small amounts of the fusion protein.
