Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  MUP-4::GFP appeared at the L4.6-L4.7 stage, and was enriched over vulC and vulD, where the vm1 sex muscles attach. By L4.9 and adult, when cuticle is present, MUP-4::GFP lined all vulva apical membranes, but it was expressed most prominently in the vulA toroid, which links the vulva to the surrounding epidermis and body muscle.

Remark Definition Other Name Public Name Primary Identifier
  The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. adult Ce WBls:0000041
  The tenth sub-stage of the L4 larva. The vulval lumen is completely collapsed. At 20 Centigrade: 42.8 hours after hatching, 8.8 hours from the L3-to-L4 molt. L4.9 larva Ce WBls:0000692
  The eighth sub-stage of the L4 larva. vulFs have migrated closer such that the lumen is narrowed in the dorsal section. The approximate cutoff is when the width of the channel is less than the width of the vulD nucleus. At 20 Centigrade: 42.3 hours after hatching, 8.3 hours from the L3-to-L4 molt. L4.7 larva Ce WBls:0000690
  The seventh sub-stage of the L4 larva. 'Fingers' between vulB2 and vulC are pointed ventrally. At 20 Centigrade: 41.5 hours after hatching, 7.5 hours from the L3-to-L4 molt. L4.6 larva Ce WBls:0000689
