| Pattern | In the wild-type background, mCherry::DAF-7 fluorescence was detected in neurons as well as in the pharyngeal muscles. In neurons, punctate fluorescence was observed in the cell bodies and in the area posterior to the ASI cell body. In contrast to DAF-28::mCherry, which was present in axons but excluded from dendrites, mCherry::DAF-7 protein was mainly detected along the dendrites of the ASI neurons. Only rare small puncta were noted in the proximal axons. Consistent with dendritic trafficking, a large accumulation of the fluorescent signal was observed surrounding the base of the ASI sensory cilia located at the distal end of the dendrite. | Primary Identifier | Expr13309 |
