WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr45

• Pattern: Post-embryonic expression. Neurons. Higher levels in cells that express mec-7. In larvae, cell bodies in RVG, ventral cord and posterior lateral ganglia. Other cells seen less frequently, including cells in lateral hypodermis. Germ cells in adult hermaphrodites.
• Primary Identifier: Expr45

cell line which early in development becomes differentiated from the remaining somatic cell line, and alone has the potential to undergo meiosis and form gametes.	germ line	germline	WBbt:0005784
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
Ganglion that lies at the anterior limit of the ventral nerve cord, near the ventral ganglion and nerve ring in the head posterior to the excretory pore. It is open and continuous with the region containing the motoneurons of the ventral cord. In the early L1 this ganglion holds 12 neuron cell bodies plus one neuroblast (Sulston and Horvitz, 1977; White et al., 1986). In the adult animal, the ganglion holds 20 neuron cell bodies.	retrovesicular ganglion		WBbt:0005656
ganglion on the lateral side, in postior portion of the body, associated with posterior deirid.	posterior lateral ganglion	posterior lateral ganglia	WBbt:0005465
