Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  mtm-6 is expressed in many neurons throughout the worm, the pre-anal ganglion, hypodermal cells, the anal depressor muscle, and additional non-neuronal of cells in the tail. The expression pattern is fairly constant through development. Primary Identifier  Expr12148

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
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
Major cell type of nervous tissue, specialized for transmission of information in the form of patterns of impulses. neuron neurone WBbt:0003679
posterior region, from rectum to the end tail   WBbt:0005741
ganglion anterior to the anus. preanal ganglion   WBbt:0005448
primary cell type that forms the hypodermis. hypodermal cell   WBbt:0007846
