WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4911

• Pattern: A transcriptional fusion of the unc-50 promoter to GFP is expressed in all cell types throughout development. unc-50::gfp expression was seen in the head of adult hermaphrodite. Expression is seen in the pharyngeal muscle, head neurons, and epidermis. Expression is also present in the gut, ventral cord motor neurons, and epidermal seam cells. In the mid body region expression is seen in the gut, seam cells, uterus, vulva muscles, and distal tip cell. In the tail region unc-50 expression can be detected in the epidermis and enteric muscles.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4911
• Remark: Picture: Fig S5.

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772

neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx.	head neuron		WBbt:0006751
a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents.	anal depressor muscle	dilator muscle	WBbt:0004292
