Subcellular_localizationThe stained structures consisted of bundles of neural processes and were at the locations of the majority of the chemical synapses in the animal. In neurons, EGL-10 protein appeared to be localized exclusively to processes; no staining was seen in the neural cell bodies of wild-type animals. Animals at all stages of development from first stage larvae to adults showed similar staining of neural processes.
TypeAntibodyaffinity-purified anti-EGL-10 antibodies.
PatternIn worms that overexpress EGL-10 from a multicopy array of egl-10 transgenes, EGL-10 was detected in neural cell bodies as well as neural processes of these animals, either because overexpression raised the level of EGL-10 protein in cell bodies above the threshold of detection or because overexpression of EGL-10 exceeded the capacity of neurons to localize the protein to processes. A large number of neurons in the major ganglia of the head region expressed EGL-10. In addition, examination of the ventral cord neurons, lateral neurons, and tail ganglia suggested that most if not all neurons in C. elegans expressed EGL-10. In particular, the HSN motor neurons, expressed EGL-10.
Staining observed in the nerve ring, ventral nerve cord, and dorsal nerve cord of wild-type animals.

RemarkBody wall muscles were also stained. The staining did not disappear in egl-10 null animals but it was strengthened in egl-10 overexpression lines.
