Type: Interneuron
In MoW: PVR
Male Wiring Project: PVR
In Wormbase: PVR
Lineage: C aappa
Location: Right lumbar ganglion
Description: The posteriorly directed process of PVR runs through the tail spike to nearly the end. This process may be a sensory dendrite.
Neurotransmitter/ Neuropeptide:
- Glutamate
(Pereira et al., 2015)
Innexin expression:
- INX-3
- INX-4 (aka CHE-7)
- INX-8
- INX-9
- INX-13
- UNC-9
(Altun et al., 2009)
Receptor expression:

Function:
- May function in modulation of pharyngeal pumping by the touch circuitry as it makes gap junctions to ALM and PLM neurons and synapses onto RIP (Chalfie et al.,1985; Albertson and Thomson, 1976)
