Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr12263 In contrast to hermaphrodites, lgc-35 is not expressed in any of the male enteric muscles, including the sphincter muscle, suggesting that it does not play a role in defecation in adult males. Like hermaphrodites, adult males expressed lgc-35 in acetylcholine motor neurons, the head mesodermal cell, and in the head interneurons AIY and AVD. In the male tail, lgc-35 is expressed in sensory rays 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9, the oblique muscle, the SPV neurons, and possibly the SPD neuron.  
    Expr14314 The efhc-1::gfp fusion construct is specifically expressed in a small subset of ciliated mechanosensory neurons: the dopaminergic CEP, ADE and PDE neurons, and the glutamatergic OLQ neurons. Additionally, EFHC-1::GFP is found in the distal regions of sex-specific dopaminergic ray neurons in the male tail (rays 5, 7 and 9). Importantly, these expression patterns were confirmed by tagging endogenous EFHC-1 with GFP using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique.
