WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4388

• Pattern: Expressed in body-wall muscles, the vulval muscles and anal depressor muscle.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4388
• Remark: Gene_regulation: Animals bearing the plasmids with CE1(bs258), pC46H11BS1888 and pC46H11BB1439 showed gfp expression in body-wall muscles, the vulval muscles and anal depressor muscle, whereas animals with the plasmids pC46H11BB1164 and pC46H11BE1281, which does not contain CE1(bs258), showed no to little expression in these tissues. CE1(bs258) is located in the first intron of C46H11.6. In gfp and lacZ reporter gene assays the CE1(bs258) element appeared to behave as an enhancer element for the expression of C46H11.6 but no effect on the expression of the opposite direction gene, pat-10.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
muscle associated with hermaphrodite vulva.	vulval muscle		WBbt:0005821
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
