Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP fluorescence was shown in the pharyngeal and body wall muscles. lim-9 GFP fluorescence was also detected in some neuronal processes, vulva, spermathecae, anal sphincter and depressor muscles, gonadal sheath, and excretory canal. Primary Identifier  Expr8313

female genital. vulva   WBbt:0006748
an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization. spermatheca   WBbt:0005319
type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx. pharyngeal muscle cell   WBbt:0005451
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
a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents. anal depressor muscle dilator muscle WBbt:0004292
a saddle-shaped muscle cell that encircles the intestinal-rectal valve anal sphincter muscle lineage name: ABprpppppap WBbt:0005798
Major cell type of nervous tissue, specialized for transmission of information in the form of patterns of impulses. neuron neurone WBbt:0003679
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
five pairs of thin gonadal sheath cells form a single layer covering the germ line component of each arm, each pair occupying a stereotyped position along the gonad proximal-distal axis. gonadal sheath cell   WBbt:0005828
