WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10030

• Pattern: rsbp-1 transgene was expressed in head and tail neurons and motor neurons of the ventral cord that innervate body-wall muscle cells. Expression was also observed in vulval, pharyngeal, and body-wall muscle cells. The rsbp-1p::GFP transgene was expressed in many ventral cord motor neurons. We consistently found rsbp-1p::GFP expression in ventral cord neurons between the retrovesicular ganglia and pre-anal ganglia indicating that RSBP-1 was expressed in both cholinergic and GABAergic motor neurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr10030

neuron that uses GABA as a vesicular neurotransmitter.	GABAergic neuron		WBbt:0005190
neuron that uses vesicular acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter.	cholinergic neuron	ACh neuron	WBbt:0006840
Ganglion that lies at the anterior limit of the ventral nerve cord, near the ventral ganglion and nerve ring in the head posterior to the excretory pore. It is open and continuous with the region containing the motoneurons of the ventral cord. In the early L1 this ganglion holds 12 neuron cell bodies plus one neuroblast (Sulston and Horvitz, 1977; White et al., 1986). In the adult animal, the ganglion holds 20 neuron cell bodies.	retrovesicular ganglion		WBbt:0005656
ganglion anterior to the anus.	preanal ganglion		WBbt:0005448
