Figure 6From: An unexpectedly high degree of specialization and a widespread involvement in sterol metabolism among the C. elegans putative aminophospholipid translocasestat-4 reporter expression pattern. The 5' end of the tat-4 locus, location of the deleted region in tm1801 mutants (bar) and structure of the tat-4 expression cassette (A). Reporter expression in the pharyngeal-intestinal valve, intestine and rectal gland cells in 3-fold embryos (B) and in advanced stage larvae (C and D) in the lcIs911.30 line. GFP fluorescence in the uterus (E), during spermatogenesis (F) and in the spermatheca of previously ovulated hermaphrodites (G) in lcIs911.30 animals. Abbreviations: pv – pharyngeal-intestinal valve; r – rectum; rgc – rectal gland cells; sp – spermatheca.Back to article page
