Nuclear receptor-related factor 1 (Nurr1, also known as NR4A2) is an orphan nuclear receptor initially characterized as a transcription factor important for mDA neuron development, comprising the generation (Zetterstrom et al, 1997), maturation (Castro et al, 2001), and axonal pathfinding of mDA neurons (Wallen et al, 1999).
The nematode Class II representative, IFE-4, is expressed in C. elegans in pharyngeal and tail neurons, body wall muscle, spermatheca and vulva, suggesting a special use [ 30].
Neurons in the wall of the portal vein, which carries nutrient laden blood from the small intestine to the liver, sense the amount of glucose in the circulation and send signals to the appetite control center in the brain.
The slo-1 gene encodes a large-conductance calcium- and voltage-gated K+ channel expressed in motor neurons and body wall muscle [36].
This assay in C. elegans revealed substantial mechanistic and functional variation across tissues, with more rapid proteasomal protein turnover in neurons versus body wall muscle [ 53].
Transgenic expression of hst-3.2 in all neurons or body wall muscle rescues loss of hst-3.2, i.e., reverses the suppression of branching.
The aim of this study was to investigate the morpho-quantitative aspects of myenteric neurons and the wall of the small intestine in mice fed a HFD.
The D42 driver predominantly expresses in motor neurons along with a few body wall sensory neurons, and the salivary glands in the larva [33].
The D42-gal4 driver predominantly expresses in motor neurons along with a few body wall sensory neurons, and the salivary glands in the larva [33].
This GFP marker is expressed by the six dorsal D neurons, but not by any of the cholinergic body wall motor neurons or the ventral D (VD) GABAergic neurons that are born at the end of the L1 stage.
