• Remark: Lines expressing GFP::CED-10 were generated by injection of ced-10::gfp::ced-10 with an unc-76-rescuing construct, P76-16B, both at 75 ng/l, into unc-76(e911) animals.
• Pattern: Cell type identifications were confirmed by the examination of a nuclear-localized GFP expressed from the ced-10 promoter. GFP::CED-10 was expressed broadly, perhaps in all cells, including neurons (CANs, VDs and DDs), engulfing cell types (including the hypodermis, intestine and pharynx) and the distal tip cells. Expression was first seen in early embryogenesis and continued throughout adulthood in all cell types.
• Subcellular Localization: Strong fluorescence was observed within the axons of the nerve ring. The GFP::CED-10 fusion protein accumulated at the plasma membrane.

• Remark: Suncellular localization was revealed by another construct with GFP inserted at the carboxy terminus of the UNC-47 protein. This construct rescued the unc-47 mutant phenotype, demonstrating that the construct functions normally.
• Pattern: Animals containing the unc-47::GFP reporter construct showed expression of GFP in all GABAergic neurons, and only in GABAergic neurons.
• Subcellular Localization: Done by another gfp construct: GFP-tagged UNC-47 was localized to synaptic varicosities along the ventral and dorsal cords but not in axons. show that unc-47 expression is associated with synaptic vesicle.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1205
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. These expression patterns were identical to those for GABA, unc-47, and unc-25.
• Pattern: expressed in all GABAergic neurons, which include the 19 D neurons in the ventral cord, the four RMEs, AVL, and RIS in the head, and DVB in the tail.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1206
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
