Additional sites of unc-46 and unc-47 expression are shown in Table 2. unc-25 and snf-11 are expressed exclusively in the cells shown here.
Color coding in column 3 (same as in Figure 2E):.
Blue: 'conventional' GABA neurons that synthesize and synaptically release GABA.
Grey: non-conventional GABA neurons which acquire and release GABA by presently unknown means.
Purple: GABA uptake neurons that take up GABA via SNF-11 (based on snf-11 expression and snf-11-dependence of GABA staining).
Green: Non-neuronal GABA uptake cells.
+/- does not consistently stain in all animals. If present, staining is weak.
* Expression as strong as in RIB ('++') in larval stages, but intensity decreases in the adult.
