WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8051

• Pattern: mab-9::GFP is expressed in the head neuron ALA and in all ventral nerve cord (VNC) nuclei born during embryogenesis (DA, DB and DD motorneurons). Subsequent mab-9 expression is observed in post-embryonically derived motor neurons VD and AS.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8051
• Remark: Picture: Figure 3.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
Neuron class of seven motoneurons that innervate dorsal muscles and have cell bodies in the ventral cord.	DB neuron		WBbt:0005274
Neuron class of nine ventral cord motor neuron, innervates dorsal muscle.	DA neuron		WBbt:0005278
Neuron class of eleven motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles.	AS neuron		WBbt:0005334
Neuron class of one neuron, sends processes laterally and along dorsal cord.	ALA	lineage name: ABalapppaaa	WBbt:0003955
