Subcellular_localizationAntibody staining is nuclear as expected for a transcription factor.
TypeAntibodyRabbit polyclonal peptide antibody. A synthetic peptide C-terminal to the homeodomain of CEH-2 (LEGSDPNAPMSNDEDDE) was synthesized and coupled to BSA with glutaraldehyde. Coupled antigen was injected into rabbits using RIBI adjuvants, and antisera were affinity purified against peptide-coupled BSA coupled to CNBr-activated sepharose.
PatternEarliest expression with the antibody was seen in a small cluster in late-gastrulation embryos. From their position, these cells may be the precursors of the pharyngeal cells that express GFP in the L1 larva. ceh-2 expression was found restricted to eleven cells (fourteen nuclei) of five types in the anterior pharynx (corpus) of larvae and adults: the I3 neuron that lies embedded in the dorsal sector of the pharynx muscle; the pairs of NSM and M3 motoneurons in the left and right subventral sectors; the three m2 muscle cells, each possessing two nuclei resulting from cell fusion during development; and the three e2 epithelial cells with the anterior-most pharynx nuclei.
