WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12546

• Pattern: A shorter promoter with 2.8 kb of regulatory sequence upstream of the first exon of the d isoform (rfip-1p_d::gfp) had much more restricted expression than Expr12545 being found in the pharynx, the excretory canal, many head neurons, and a few tail neurons. Of note for this study, the rfip-1p_d::gfp reporter was expressed in the PLM, but not the ALM, neurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12546

Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom.	excretory canal	canal	WBbt:0005775
