WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11586

• Pattern: Paakg-4::gfp is broadly expressed in C. elegans. Paakg-4::gfp is seen in tail sensory organs: phasmid sheath, socket cells and neurons, as well as in epithelial rectal cells, anal-depressor muscle, pre-anal ganglion rectal neurons, body wall muscles, posterior intestine and dorsal cord neuronal processes. Paakg-4::gfp is expressed in vulval, uterine muscles and ventral cord processes. Head expression mostly localizes to the ring ganglia plus 6 pharyngeal neurons. It is also seen in amphid sensory organs including sheath, socket cells and neurons. For a summary of Paakg-4::gfp see table S10.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
muscle associated with hermaphrodite vulva.	vulval muscle		WBbt:0005821
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 of the pharyngeal nervous system.	pharyngeal neuron		WBbt:0005439
a bundle of nerve processes that runs along the dorsal mid-line of the animal.	dorsal nerve cord	dorsal cord	WBbt:0006750
muscle lining of the uterine wall.	uterine muscle		WBbt:0005342
neuron of phasmid sensillum	phasmid neuron		WBbt:0006753
neuron of the amphid sensillum	amphid neuron	amphid sensory neuron	WBbt:0005394
ganglion anterior to the anus.	preanal ganglion		WBbt:0005448
epithelium connecting intestine and anus.	rectal epithelium		WBbt:0005800
neuron that has neural processes in the nerve ring.	nerve ring neuron		WBbt:0006974
sheath cell of amphid sensillum.	amphid sheath cell		WBbt:0006754
Hypodermal socket cell of the phasmid sensillum.	phasmid socket cell	Phso	WBbt:0008410
