An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Localized diffusely along body muscle cells, concentrated at the boundaries between muscle cells. Staining limited to areas immediately adjacent to the body wall muscle. GFP protein also surrounds the sex muscles, which terminate at the vulva, detected in embryos and larvae. GFP localized around the pharynx, outlined the entire gonad and was particular prevalent at the spermatheca and the distal tip cell. Primary Identifier  Expr708
Remark  This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). Subcellular Localization  Concentrated at the boundaries between muscle cells.
