An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  mbl-1 promoter drives expression of mCherry in many cell bodies along the ventral nerve cord. Thin neuronal processes emanate from these cell bodies and fasciculate in both the dorsal and ventral nerve cords. MBL-1 is expressed strongly in all of the A-type motorneurons, and also in other neurons in the ventral cord and several unidentified cells in the tail. mCherry expression was seen in embryonic and L1 animals, indicating that mbl-1 is expressed early in development. Primary Identifier  Expr9938
Subcellular Localization  MBL- 1::GFP is concentrated in the nucleus of ventral cord neurons.
