WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8548

• Pattern: Immunostaining with an antibody raised against the translated product of the first 5 exons of unc-53 revealed UNC-53L protein localized in the cytoplasm of the excretory cell, the sex myoblasts, the anal muscles, the head neurons and the coelomocytes. Expression was detected at all developmental stages, including adults.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8548
• Remark: New Anatomy_term: sex myoblasts. Picture: Fig. 1B. 1E, 1F.
• Subcellular Localization: cytoplasm

neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx.	head neuron		WBbt:0006751
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
a saddle-shaped muscle cell that encircles the intestinal-rectal valve	anal sphincter muscle	lineage name: ABprpppppap	WBbt:0005798
H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans.	excretory cell	excretory canal cell	WBbt:0005812
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom.	excretory canal	canal	WBbt:0005775
