An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  gcy-12::gfp directs GFP expression in chemosensory neurons (AWC, ASE, ASJ, AUA, PHA, PHB), an interneuron (PVQ), several other unidentified head neurons, an excretory gland cell, and adult head muscles. In the head muscles, GFP shows a punctate pattern. The strongest GFP expression was observed at the tip of the nose, which appeared to be sensory cilia. Primary Identifier  Expr12481
