Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Reporter construct is expressed primarily or exclusively in neurons or "endocrine/secretory" cells. GFP expression in non-neuronal tissues include the gut (frequently), specific somatic gonad cells, and in pharyngeal or vulval muscles (rarely). No expression is detected in hypodermal, body wall muscle or germ tissues. nlp-8 is expressed at head and tail neurons and pharyngeal neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr1018
