WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11913

• Pattern: Beginning at the onset of excretory canal formation and continuing through adult stages, SEC-8 was present along the length of the excretory canal. SEC-8 was also expressed maternally and therefore were present in cells of the early embryo.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11913
• Subcellular Localization: A striking asymmetric localization of SEC-8-YFP was observed in polarized cells, including to the anterior membrane of one-cell embryos, the contact-free membrane of early embryonic cells, and the apical membrane of epithelial cells.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
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
