WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3420

• Pattern: Strong expression in body wall, vulval and enteric muscles was observed. A few unidentified neuronal processes were also occasionally visible. Transgenic animals expressing snf-6 under the control of the muscle-specific myo-3 promoter were rescued for all of the phenotypes, indicating that snf-6 might be required in muscle cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3420
• Reporter Gene: [myo-3::GFP::snf-6, pRF4(rol-6d)] translational fusion. [snf-6::gfp] translational fusion.

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
a saddle-shaped muscle cell that encircles the intestinal-rectal valve	anal sphincter muscle	lineage name: ABprpppppap	WBbt:0005798
Major cell type of nervous tissue, specialized for transmission of information in the form of patterns of impulses.	neuron	neurone	WBbt:0003679
intestinal muscle cell, attach to intestine and body wall anterior to anus	intestinal muscle	stomato-intestinal muscle	WBbt:0005796
