"Expression levels of these proteins were scored in the VC axonal projections and in the SAB-containing dorsal and ventral sublateral nerve cords in the head. UNC-18 is readily detected in axonal projections of the VC motor neurons in wild-type as well as in
unc-4 and
unc-37 animals. This finding stands in contrast to our observation that UNC-17 expression in the VCs is only seen in wild-type animals (Fig. 4, Table 2)."
