| Subcellular_localization | A dop-1trans::gfp reporter protein, which contains dop-1 coding sequences, is localized to the plasma membrane and has a punctate appearance along axons and muscle arms. | ||

| Pattern | A dop-1::gfp reporter gene fusion has a more restricted expression pattern in the nervous system in larval and adult animals. Within the head ganglia, dop-1prom1::gfp is consistently expressed only in the RIS interneuron class. Only weak and inconsistent expression can be observed in other unidentified head neurons. Consistent and strong expression can be observed in the excretory gland cells and head muscles as well as in several labial and amphid sensory neuron support cells (sheath/socket cells). In the midbody and tail region, reporter gene expression is evident in the AVM and ALM touch sensory neurons, in the ALN and PLN neuron classes and in the PVQ interneurons, which extend axons along the left and right ventral nerve cord, respectively. Reporter gene fusions that contain more genomic sequence (dop-1prom2::gfp and dop-1trans::gfp;) show expression in similar sets of cells. In addition, dop-1prom2::gfp expression is observed in additional sets of unidentified head neurons. | ||
