Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In larvae and adult hermaphrodites, the F40F11.2/mig-38 promoter-driven GFP signal is found mainly in neurons, muscles, and other contractile tissues such as the spermatheca (Hunt-Newbury et al., 2007). mig-38 expression was additionally detected in the somatic gonad precursors, Z1 and Z4 and later within DTCs during larval and adult stages. Gonadal dissections allowed detection of F40F11.2p::GFP expression within the gonadal sheath cells. However, expression was not observed in the germ cells or their precursors Z2 and Z3. Primary Identifier  Expr10160
Subcellular Localization  YFP::MIG-38 is expressed in the cytoplasm of body wall muscle cells. YFP::MIG-38 also appeared to be localized in muscle cell nuclei.
