| Pattern | Imaging this strain revealed significant differences in SNT-1 isoform expression and localization. The SNT-1A isoform is abundantly expressed in most neurons, and the distribution of this isoform is synaptic, resembling that of the endogenous SNT-1 (see Expr334). In contrast, the SNT-1B isoform is expressed at lower levels and in fewer neurons than SNT-1A. Many neurons express both SNT-1A and -1B, although the relative amount of each isoform varies greatly between individual cells, and some neurons appear to express only the SNT-1A isoform. | Primary Identifier | Expr8299 |
| Remark | Picture: Figure 3. | Reporter Gene | [snt-1::SNT-1A::CFP; snt-1::SNT-1B::YFP]. SNT-1A::CFP and SNT-1B::YFP transgenes were integrated separately, and a strain containing both integrated transgenes was constructed. |
| Subcellular Localization | Distribution of SNT-1A is synaptic. |
