WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10815

• Pattern: acr-12 is expressed in the major classes of ACh (DA, VA, DB, VB) and GABA (DD and VD) MNs that have primary functions in locomotory control.
• Primary Identifier: Expr10815
• Subcellular Localization: ACR-12 complexes in GABA MNs are clustered in receptor fields located opposite presynaptic specializations of ACh MNs.

Neuron class of eleven motoneurons, distributed along the ventral cord, which innervate ventral body muscles.	VB neuron		WBbt:0005336
Neuron class of nine ventral cord motor neuron, innervates dorsal muscle.	DA neuron		WBbt:0005278
Neuron class of seven motoneurons that innervate dorsal muscles and have cell bodies in the ventral cord.	DB neuron		WBbt:0005274
Neuron class of twelve motoneurons, distributed along the ventral cord, which innervate ventral body muscles.	VA neuron		WBbt:0005339
Neuron class of six motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate dorsal muscles. Each cell has a short, posteriorly directed and a longer, anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body. The anterior process has a branch, which leaves the ventral cord as a commissure and runs round to the dorsal cord.	DD neuron		WBbt:0005270
Neuron class of thirteen motoneurons, with cell bodies in the ventral cord, which innervate ventral muscles. Each cell has an anteriorly directed process emanating from its cell body.	VD neuron		WBbt:0005303
