WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8769

• Pattern: The kcc-2a promoter drove expression of gfp in a few head and tail neurons. Using the kcc-2c promoter::gfp::kcc-2 3 UTR reporter transgene, KCC-2 reporter expression was observed in the HSN neuron and utse uterine seam cell as well as many neurons in the head and tail. kcc-2b promoter drove expression of gfp in head, tail, and ventral cord motor neurons as well as body wall muscles, egg-laying muscles, uv1 uterus-associated endocrine cells, the distal tip cell, and the intestine.

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
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
