An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Staining of whole-mount gravid worms showed expression of the enzyme in body wall muscle and in eggs. Primary Identifier  Expr8073
Remark  Picture: Fig. 1, middle panel. This was further verified by staining paraffin-embedded cross-sections of adult worms. Note that the staining of paraffin-embedded cross-sections also revealed partial expression of the enzyme in the intestine. The muscle expression was further verified by co-staining the paraffin-embedded sections with an antibody against myosin, a muscle marker.
