WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr426

• Pattern: Diffuse non-nuclear expression is seen in older larvae and adults in three distinct components, i.e. the excretory cell and canals, the posterior hypodermis, and the uterine wall (ut2 toroidal cells). This gene has similarity to amino acid transporters.
• Primary Identifier: Expr426
• Remark: Other strains-- UL870, UL874

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
