An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Strong levels of expression in the six touch receptor neurons. In addition, staining was detectable in several other neurons, including motorneurons of the ventral cord such as members of the DB class, various neurons of the nerve ring region, and a few neurons of the lumbar ganglion such as PVR. No expression was detected in ALN and FLP neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr1269
