Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr8805 Remark  Picture: Fig 2, Fig S7.
Subcellular Localization  LEV-9 is a protein secreted by muscle cells, which localizes at cholinergic neuromuscular junctions, most probably in the synaptic cleft. lev-9::T7 animals display a similar sensitivity to levamisole as wild-type animals. Immunofluorescence staining using anti-T7 antibodies specifically detected T7LEV-9 as puncta distributed along the ventral and dorsal nerve cords and in the nerve ring where head muscles are innervated. These puncta were juxtaposed to cholinergic varicosities and co-localized with L-AChR clusters.
