WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1072

• Pattern: These transgenic animals expressed low levels of the RIC-19::GFP fusion protein in all neurons, as well as in the excretory canal and gland cells located just below the nerve ring in the head. The m2 pharyngeal motor neurons, as well as some pharyngeal interneurons, expressed much higher levels of the RIC-19::GFP fusion protein than the other positive cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1072
• Remark: The ric-19 expression patterns reported here are tentative in that they rely on the introduction of multiple copies of reporter plasmids carried on extrachromosomal arrays in various transgenic lines. all C. elegans neurons (author) = all stages (wjc)
• Subcellular Localization: The RIC-19::GFP protein was diffusely distributed within the cytoplasm of positive cells.

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
