Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  An acr-5::gfp reporter gene containing a 4.2-kb acr-5 promoter fragment is expressed exclusively in the nervous system. Expression is initiated in the embryo and persists throughout adult life. In the ventral nerve cord of L1 larvae, acr-5::GFP expression is restricted to the embryonically derived DB motor neurons. VB motor neurons, which arise during the late L1 stage, begin to express acr-5::GFP in L2 larvae. acr-5::GFP is also expressed in other unidentified neurons in the head and tail. Primary Identifier  Expr2329
Remark  Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
