WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8664

• Pattern: Expression was observed in nerve ring (nr) neurons and processes. Expression of GFP was observed in nerve cords (dnc, vnc), HSN motor neuron, vulval muscles (vm), and uterine muscles (um), body wall muscle cells, pharyngeal muscles, vulval epithelium (ve), gut, motor neurons, and the hypodermal ridge (hr).

female genital.	vulva		WBbt:0006748
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
a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring.	ventral nerve cord	ventral cord	WBbt:0005829
type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx.	pharyngeal muscle cell		WBbt:0005451
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
