Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr11038 A transcriptional GFP reporter driven by the putative srap-1 promoter is detected in a variety of tissues including the major hypodermis and seam cells. Notable expression of this reporter is also observed in the tissues of the developing vulva and central nervous system. Expression of SRAP-1::GFP translational fusion is detected at the surface of the newly synthesized cuticle coincident with the molt. Significant accumulation of SRAP-1::GFP is also detected at the seam syncytium in the adult stage.  
Transgenic Marker: rol-6(su1006).   Expr525 First appears in vulval cells L4-Adult molt, then in seam cells young adult, and non-vulval ventral hypodermal cells of older adults.
