Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	Transcripts enriched in Gonadal_sheath_cell according to single cell RNAseq.	Genes that pass the Bonferroni threshold for multiple comparisons (q < 0.05) are significantly enriched.	WBPaper00061651:Gonadal_sheath_cell_enriched

1 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr12615
• Pattern: GLB-12 is present in distinct parts of the somatic reproductive system -the distal gonadal sheath, the proximal part of the spermatheca, and the uterus-and in several head and tail neurons and the vulva. GLB-12 does not appear to be directly present in the germline.
• Subcellular Localization: The GLB-12 reporter was found to be membrane-bound through a short N-terminal extension.
