Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr3065 Subcellular Localization  Anti-GPA-2 antibodies stained many cilia, cell bodies, and axons in the head. Two cell bodies in the anterior ganglion, two pharyngeal muscle cells, and seven cell bodies in the lateral and ventral ganglia showed staining, indicating that GPA-2 is expressed in more cells than initially identified. Importantly, in addition to rod-like cilia, the typical wing shape of the AWC cilia could be distinguished at high magnification. This confirms that GPA-2 is expressed in the AWC cells. No indications of GPA-2 expression in the AWA cells was found.

The left and right lateral ganglia lie beside the nerve ring in the head. They each contain about (30) neuron cell bodies and send their neuronal processes into the ring at its posterior margin either laterally or ventrally via the amphid commissures and ventral ganglion, but form no local neuropil separate from the nerve ring. The lateral ganglia are in close contact with the lateral hypodermal cords. lateral ganglion lateral ganglia WBbt:0005105
ganglion anterior to the nerve ring anterior ganglion   WBbt:0005375
ganglion lies beside the nerve ring in the head, just anterior of the retrovesicular ganglion. It contains about 20 interneuron and motorneuron cell bodies that all send their neuronal processes into the ring. The cell bodies are divided into two groups by the intrusion of the excretory duct and canal. The cells are bounded by a basal lamina which physically separates them from the lateral ganglion even though they are adjacent to one another. ventral ganglion ventral ganglia WBbt:0005298
