WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  We observed strong expression of kcnl-1 in neurons and muscles involved in egg-laying and defecation (vm1, vm2, uterine muscle, stomato-intestinal muscle, and anal depressor muscle). In addition, kcnl-1 was expressed in body-wall muscles, a few neurons in head and tail ganglia, ventral nerve cord motoneurons, and the PVD mechanosensory neuron. Primary Identifier  Expr15937

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. ventral cord neuron ventral cord motoneuron WBbt:0005300
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
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
neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum. tail neuron   WBbt:0006759
