Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  unc-87A expression. The 2-kb upstream sequence from exon 1A (Punc-87A::GFP), which is entirely downstream of exon 1B, promoted expression of GFP in the pharynx, anal depressor muscle, uterine muscle, vulva, and unidentified neurons in the head and the ventral region.

female genital. vulva   WBbt:0006748
the feeding organ, a neuro-muscular pump in the head of the animal, used to ingest food, bacteria suspended in liquid, filter them out, grind them up and transport posteriorly into the instestine. pharynx esophagus WBbt:0003681
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
muscle lining of the uterine wall. uterine muscle   WBbt:0005342
ganglion lies beside the nerve ring in the head, just anterior of the retrovesicular ganglion. It contains about 20 interneuron and motorneuron cell bodies that all send their neuronal processes into the ring. The cell bodies are divided into two groups by the intrusion of the excretory duct and canal. The cells are bounded by a basal lamina which physically separates them from the lateral ganglion even though they are adjacent to one another. ventral ganglion ventral ganglia WBbt:0005298
