Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Reporter transgene expression was observed in neurons in the head and tail; we also observed expression of irk-1 in the egg-laying system. Strong expression of Promirk-1::yfp was expressed in the HSN motor neurons of the egg-laying system, and faint expression of this reporter in vulval muscles, which are postsynaptic to the HSNs.

Primary Identifier  Expr10594
Subcellular Localization  GFP::IRK-1 expression was observed on both the HSN soma and neurite. GFP::IRK-1 was not appreciably enriched at HSN presynaptic specializations. These data suggest that IRK-1 channels are uniformly expressed on the HSN plasma membrane and not restricted to a specific region of the cell.
