WBPhenotype:0000782
|
body wall muscle thick filament variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of a robust elongated cytoplasmic filament composed principally of myosin protein compared to control animals. In C. elegans, thick filaments also contain paramyosin and twitchin (Wormatlas). |

WBPhenotype:0000781
|
body wall muscle thin filament variant
|
Any variation in the extremely thin elongated cytoplasmic filament, usually composed principally of actin protein to form a myofilament lattice, as in muscle cells compared to control (Wormatlas). |
|
WBPhenotype:0001890
|
body wall muscle dense body variant
|
Any variation in the attachment plaque for thin filaments onto the cell membrane. The dense body in body wall muscles is especially large, indenting far into the cytoplasm to border each sarcomere, thus providing a long row of coherent attachment sites at regular intervals (WormAtlas). |
|
WBPhenotype:0001891
|
M line variant
|
Animals exhibit variations in the form, structure or composition of a planar structure within the muscle sarcomere which lies midway within the thick filament (A) band, attaching to the plasma membrane at its base and running up towards the inward surface of the myofilament lattice, compared to control animals (Wormatlas). |
