WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13443

• Pattern: In transgenic worms, hrpu-2::GFP signal was observed in a variety of cell types, including motor neurons and many other neurons (such as nerve ring neurons and ventral nerve cord neurons), body-wall muscle cells, pharyngeal muscle cells, and intestinal cells. In determining the colocalization of HRPU-2 and SLO-2, we observed that both transgenes are expressed in body-wall muscle cells and many neurons, including the VA5 and VD5 motor neurons used for electrophysiological recordings, although their expression patterns differ in some tissues such as pharyngeal muscles.

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
neuron making synapse on an effector (muscle, gland).	motor neuron	motoneuron	WBbt:0005409
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
