Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The expression of this ZYX-1-GFP protein was observed in spermatheca, body wall muscles as well as neurons. The expression was confirmed with anti ZYX antibodies but the signal was weaker. Primary Identifier  Expr10630
Subcellular Localization  The ZYX-1-GFP protein was detected at dense bodies and M-lines, as well as in the nucleus of body wall muscle cells, and in both cell bodies and axons of neurons. The ZYX- 1-GFP protein mainly localized in the middle region of dense bodies and partially overlaps with the ATN-1 and the DEB-1 containing regions.Immunoelectron microscopy experiments on transgenic zyx-1::gfp expressing worms showed a localization of the ZYX-1-GFP protein at dense bodies, over the whole length of M-lines, and in the nucleus. FRAP experiments indicate that ZYX-1 is a highly dynamic protein within the muscle cell and may shuttle between muscle adhesion complexes and the nucleus.
