WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10701

• Pattern: GLB-26 is expressed in the head mesodermal cell, and in the tail in the stomato-intestinal and anal depressor muscle cell. GLB-26 was also found to be expressed in the male anal depressor muscle. The expression pattern observed here is in accordance with the results of a localization study conducted by Hoogewijs and coworkers, who used a transcriptional reporter.
• Primary Identifier: Expr10701
• Subcellular Localization: In the head region expression is seen in the head mesodormal cell, with apparent enrichment in the nucleus. This reporter shows that GLB-26 is membrane bound.

a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents.	anal depressor muscle	dilator muscle	WBbt:0004292
