WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1021

• Pattern: Reporter construct is expressed primarily or exclusively in neurons or "endocrine/secretory" cells. GFP expression in non-neuronal tissues include the gut (frequently), specific somatic gonad cells, and in pharyngeal or vulval muscles (rarely). No expression is detected in hypodermal, body wall muscle or germ tissues. nlp-11 is expressed in neurons with cell body in the lateral surface of the body, IL1, and IL2 neurons, head and tail neurons.
