An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  This fusion gene was ubiquitously expressed, with prominent expression in body-wall muscle and neurons. A GFP fusion to the full length lrs-2 gene, lrs-2::GFP, containing the same upstream sequences and the entire lrs-2 open reading frame (ORF), rescued the longevity phenotype of lrs-2(mg312) and had similar expression and localization patterns. Primary Identifier  Expr2363
Subcellular Localization  Plrs-2::GFP showed mitochondrial subcellular localization, reflected in the neatly arranged elongated structures in body-wall muscle and the punctate staining in neurons and axonal projections, consistent with a mitochrondrial localization sequence motif in the N-terminal region of LRS-2.
