Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The CeRhoGEF expression was observed primarily in neurons, including several neurons in the head and the bilaterally symmetrical lumbar ganglia in the tail. Identity of the subset of chemosensory neurons was further confirmed by double labeling with DiI staining of amphid and phasmid neurons. Overlaying the GFP and DiI images of the head and tail revealed their colocalization among the set of amphid and phasmid neurons. CeRhoGEF expression was also observed in several additional neurons in the head and tail. Expression was also found in PLML and PLMR touch neurons. CeRhoGEF expression was also observed in the motor neurons of the ventral nerve cord. Primary Identifier  Expr2812
Remark  Reporter gene fusion type not specified.

The left and right lumbar ganglia lie behind the pre-anal ganglion in the tail, in lateral positions. Each contains 12 neuron cell bodies that send most of their neuronal processes into the ventral nerve cord via lumbar commissures and the pre-anal ganglion. There is no local neuropil in these ganglia in the hermaphrodite, instead they form most synapses in the pre-anal ganglion. Most lumbar neurons have sensory functions. In the adult male tail, these two ganglia gain many additional neurons and have some local neuropil. The lumbar neurons lie in close association with the lateral hypodermis, and most are posterior to the anus. lumbar ganglion lumbar lateral ganglia WBbt:0005830
