WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10553

• Pattern: mod-1 is expressed in a subset of head and tail neurons. The only cell type that reliably coexpressed mod-1 and ser-4 reporter transgenes are AIB neurons. In addition, mod-1::mCherry expression was seen in RME neurons. By examining larvae at the L3 stage or younger the mod-1 reporter was expressed strongly in all body wall muscles. In L4 larvae and adults this body wall muscle expression was much reduced, but still detectable. mod-1::mCherry was also expressed in ventral cord neurons, specifically in both VD and DD classes of GABAergic motor neurons. The mod-1 reporter is not expressed in all 26 GABAergic neurons - in the head the only overlap between the mod-1 and unc-47 reporter expression is in RME interneurons.

neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx.	head neuron		WBbt:0006751
Neuron class of thirteen motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate ventral muscles. Each cell has an anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body.	VD neuron		WBbt:0005303
Neuron class of six motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles. Each cell has a short, posteriorly directed and a longer, anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body. The anterior process has a branch, which leaves the ventral cord as a commissure and runs round to the dorsal cord.	DD neuron		WBbt:0005270
