WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr7878

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
An interfacial epithelial cell which forms a distal cap on a sheath cell to bind the sheath of a sensillum to the neighboring hypodermis, via adherens junctions. There is often a narrow opening through the socket from the exterior into the sheath channel, allowing ciliated dendrites to be exposed to the external environment. The socket cell functions similarly to a glial cell.	socket cell		WBbt:0005750
a structural (glial) cell which forms an specialized environment surrounding the sensory ending(s) of one or more neurons; sometimes accompanied by a more distal socket cell. In early development of the sensory nerves and of the nerve ring some sheath cells (cephalics and labials) may also provide a substrate for axon guidance	neuronal sheath cell	pocket cell	WBbt:0005811
a group of hypodermal cells that lie along the apical midline of the hypodermis, at the extreme left and right sides between nose and tail	seam cell	lateral hypodermis	WBbt:0005753

Pattern	miR-228 expression is indicated in inner/outer labial, cephalic, and amphid sensilla, the posterior deirid, and in phasmid sensilla of the young adult worm. Additionally, expression is observed in seam cells. Based on morphology of GFP-positive cells in sensilla, expression is provisionally identified in sheath and/or socket cells rather than ciliated neurons.	Primary Identifier	Expr7878
