An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP-positive cells in the VNC are completely different from GABA-producing neurons. Based on their relative positions and the sizes of their nuclei, identified eight GFP-positive cells in the VNC as VA, VB and AS motor neurons (P2aaaa, P2aaap, P2apa, P3aaaa, P3aaap, P4aaaa, P4aaap and P4apa. These eight cells are motor neurons that produce acetylcholine as neurotransmitter and that originate from Pn progenitor cells through aaaa, aaap or apa cell lineages. Primary Identifier  Expr1225
