Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Rescued transgenic animals showed NPR-1::GFP fluorescence predominantly in the nervous system. The NPR-1::GFP-expressing cells in the head were identified as sensory neurons AQR, ASE, ASG, ASH (L4/adult stages only), URX, IL2L/R and OLQ (with its socket and sheath cells), the interneurons AUA and SAAD, the motor neurons RMG and SMBD, and the pharyngeal neuron M3. In the ventral nerve cord, expression was observed in the GABA-containing VD and DD motoneurons. In the tail, expression was seen in the sensory neurons PQR, PHA and PHB. The interneurons RIV, RIG and SDQ was also identified as expressing NPR-1::GFP. For most neurons, expression was seen throughout post-embryonic life, usually in both partners of bilaterally symmetrical neuron pairs. NPR-1::GFP fluorescence was also seen in a muscle in the terminal bulb of the pharynx, and sometimes in the excretory duct cell and excretory canal. Primary Identifier  Expr2257
Subcellular Localization  NPR-1::GFP fluorescence was visible on neuron cell bodies, axons and dendrites.

Neuron class of six motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles.

H-shaped cell associated with the excretory system, largest cell in C. elegans. excretory cell excretory canal cell WBbt:0005812
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
