Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression is first detected in unhatched larvae and was maintained throughout all larval stages and in adults. Staining was observed along the length of the nematode and was particularly strong in cells along the body wall where beta-gal also accumulates in a striated pattern in the cytoplasm. The striated pattern is identified as body wall muscle cells. In addition, sex muscle cells show staining. There are two clusters of nuclei visible on both sides of the vulva. Staining is observed around the pharynx but there is no staining observed in pharyngeal muscle. Primary Identifier  Expr707
Remark  This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). Subcellular Localization  beta-gal accumulates in a striated pattern in the cytoplasm. The striated pattern is identified as body wall muscle cells.
