An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Precocious and widespread embryonic expression, followed by a more restricted pattern in larvae and adults. mRNAs are present in many tissues where unc-32 is also expressed, but the detailed patterns were different, because the gene is also expressed in the excretory cell and canals and probably some somatic gonad cells.

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
