Type: Interneuron
In MoW: PVQ
Male Wiring Project: PVQL, PVQR
In Wormbase: PVQ, PVQL, PVQR
Lineage: AB plapppaaa, AB prapppaaa
Location: Right and left lumbar ganglia
Description: Interneurons, project along ventral cord to ring.
Neurotransmitter:
Function: Along with PVPR, PVQL pioneers the left hand ventral cord. This function appears to be a joint action of these two processes (Durbin, 1987).
Receptor Expression: Express glutamate receptor subunits, GLR-1 and GLR-5 (Brockie et al., 2001). Express G protein-coupled serpentine receptor, SRA-6 (Troemel et al., 1995). Express the dopamine receptor DOP-1 (Tsalik et al., 2003). Suggested to express GABA-A/glycine receptor-like protein GGR-1 (Fujiwara et al., 1996).
