WormMine

WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  To confirm that acr-14 is expressed in A-MNs, We coexpressed GFP and mStrawberry under the control of Pacr-14 and the A-MN-specific promoter Punc-4, respectively. In the transgenic worms, GFP was observed in all mStrawberry-labelled neurons plus some other neurons along the ventral nerve cord, suggesting that acr-14 is expressed in A-MNs as well as some other MNs, which could be D-MNs and B- and AS-type MNs reported in previous studies. In addition, GFP expression was observed in several head and tail neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr13428
