WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1012

• Pattern: Reporter construct is expressed primarily or exclusively in neurons or "endocrine/secretory" cells. GFP expression in non-neuronal tissues include the gut (frequently), specific somatic gonad cells, and in pharyngeal or vulval muscles (rarely). No expression is detected in hypodermal, body wall muscle or germ tissues. nlp-1::GFP is expressed in at least 5 classes of neurons located in the head and at least 1 class in the tail. nlp-1 expressed in PHB, lateral neurons and head neurons,

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
