WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr223

• Pattern: Expressed in many neurons, the positions of which matched those of dying cells in u38 and u506 animals. These cells included the presumptive ASH cells, IL1 cells, AVD cells, the AVG cell, and the PVC cells, although the latter stained weakly. Muscles also expressed the deg-1lacZ fusion. The head muscle quadrants and a muscle near the anus, presumably the anal depressor muscle, stained at all stages, whereas body wall muscles stained most strongly in newly hatched larvae.
• Primary Identifier: Expr223
• Remark: A similar staining pattern was seen with deg-1gfp fusions. Data modified according to Shawn Lockery's expression pattern curations.

Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
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
