WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4733

• Pattern: GFP expression was detected in the coelomocytes, excretory cell, and uterine-seam cell. GFP signals were also detected in a bilateral pair of cells near posterior isthmus of pharynx. These cells were identified as GLRL and GLRR based on their positions and characteristic morphology. Relatively weak expression was seen in developing embryos.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4733
• Remark: rrc-1 = yk273h6

H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans.	excretory cell	excretory canal cell	WBbt:0005812
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
membranous cell attaches the uterus to the lateral epidermis (seam) and forms a thin laminar process dorsal to the vulva. formed by fusion of eight pi cell progeny and AC.	uterine seam cell	utse	WBbt:0006789
Set of six cells that form a thin cylindrical sheet between pharynx and ring neuropile; no chemical synapses, but gap junctions with muscle arms and RME motor neurons	GLRL	lineage name: MSapaaaad	WBbt:0004784
