WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15818

• Pattern: We found that the cell type that expressed the transgene most robustly at every developmental stage is the canal-associated neurons (CANs), whose cell body are near the midbody with processes that run along the excretory canal laterally along most of the body. All developmental stages also show Ppa-hsd-2p::rfp expression in a few intestinal cells as well as the excretory gland cell, though expression in the excretory canal was detectable only in the dauer stage.

gland cell of the secretory-excretory system, sends processes to ring, opens into excretory duct.	excretory gland cell	exc gl	WBbt:0005776
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

any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
