• Primary Identifier: Expr3720
• Pattern: In C. elegans males, nph-4::GFP expression in the head was seen in the amphid neurons, the outer labial neurons, and a cell group that could be compatible with the male-specific CEM neurons. In the male tail, nph-4::GFP expression was seen in the lumbar and cloacal ganglia. nph-4 expression in hermaphrodites was found in ciliated amphid neurons, the outer labial neurons, and the phasmid neurons in the tail. Developmental regulation of expression for nph-4::GFP was found to be similar to nph-1, appearing at the 1.5-fold stage and lasting through adulthood.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1200169
• Pattern: Data from the TransgeneOme project

• Primary Identifier: Expr3719
• Pattern: In C. elegans hermaphrodites, nph-1::GFP expressed in the ciliated amphid neurons, the outer labial neurons, and the two phasmid neurons in the tail. In addition, early expression of nph-1::GFP in transgenic embryos was shown. The earliest point of observation during development was the 1.5-fold embryonic stage. In C. elegans males, nph-1::GFP expression in the head was detected in amphid neurons and in a second group of neurons that could not be assigned with certainty but that may be compatible with the male-specific CEM neurons. In the male tail, nph-1::GFP expression was found in the cloacal and lumbar ganglia. GFP expression in the lumbar ganglia was interpreted to be in the ninth sensory ray neuron. Expression in the cloacal ganglia could not be assigned with certainty.
