Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Embryos expressed CeSKIP::gfp ubiquitously beginning at approximately the 30 cell stage. The expression of CeSKIP::gfp continues in larval development and adult animals although the level of expression varies in different tissues. The most pronounced expression is in pharyngeal cells, in head and neurons, neurons of dorsal and ventral neuronal cord, in muscle cells, and epidermal cells mostly in head and in tail, and in some seam cells. In L4 larvae and adults, egg laying muscle cells, and anal muscle cells are also strongly labeled. Primary Identifier  Expr1923
Remark  CeSKIP(skp-1) is likely part of a two-gene operon. The first gene of this operon is bir-1. RT-PCR with primers derived from bir-1 and CeSKIP in combination with SL1 and SL2 primers demonstrated that bir-1 was SL1 trans-spliced and CeSKIP was SL2 trans-spliced. Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
