Type: Pharyngeal interneuron (also posterior sensory?)
In MoW:
Male Wiring Project: I6
In Wormbase: I6
Lineage: MS paaapaa
Location: Pharynx posterior bulb
Description: A bipolar neuron. Its shorter process travels posteriorly, crosses from left to right subdorsally between pm6 and pm7, and then ends with a free subcuticular ending between pm5 and pm6. The longer process runs anteriorly from the

cell body to enter the nerve ring from the dorsal nerve cord, where it terminates on the dorsal side (Albertson and Thomson, 1976)
Neurotransmitter/Neuropeptide:
- NLP-3; neuropeptide-like protein
(Nathoo et al., 2001)
Innexin expression:
- UNC-9
(Altun et al., 2009)
Receptor expression:
- GLR-7; glutamate receptor subunit
- GLR-8; glutamate receptor subunit
(Brockie et al., 2001)
Function:
- Unknown or redundant
