An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP::OIG-8 is exclusively expressed in the olfactory amphid wing (AW)-type sensory neurons AWA, AWB, and AWC, the thermosensory amphid finger neurons (AFD), the gas-sensing BAG neurons, and the harsh touch sensory neurons FLP and PVD. Primary Identifier  Expr13398
Subcellular Localization  Within the respective sensory neurons, the GFP::OIG-8 fusion protein shows a striking pattern of subcellular localization. Whereas GFP::OIG-8 appears to distribute evenly across all axonal and dendritic membranes of the multidendritic PVD neuron in the midbody of the worm, it is concentrated in the ciliated ending of amphid sensory neurons in the head.
