WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14261

• Pattern: We used a transgene to drive expression of GFP from the nlp-3 promoter, and by combining this with red fluorescent markers of various subsets of identified neurons, identified every nlp-3-expressing cell. These comprise 18 neuron types, including 16 bilaterally symmetric neuron pairs plus two unpaired neurons, totaling 34 neurons. Six of these neurons express nlp-3::GFP barely above background levels, while the other 28 gave strong GFP signals. One muscle cell also expresses nlp-3::GFP. The HSNs are the only neurons that express nlp-3::GFP that are in the midbody or that is known to play a role in egg laying.
