WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4826

• Pattern: A transgene containing the sel-10 promoter driving green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled a subset of neurons including the HSNL, which suggests that sel-10 is expressed in the HSNL. sel-10 promoter driven GFP is widely expressed in body wall muscles (not consistent though), intestine(not consistent), pharynx, distal tip cell, spermatheca, and within nervous system, it is expressed in HSNs, some ventral cord neurons, a bunch of unidentified head neurons and a few tail neurons. --Pers.

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
an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization.	spermatheca		WBbt:0005319
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
the feeding organ, a neuro-muscular pump in the head of the animal, used to ingest food, bacteria suspended in liquid, filter them out, grind them up and transport posteriorly into the instestine.	pharynx	esophagus	WBbt:0003681
