ALNL, ALNR
Type: Sensory neuron (minor oxygen-sensory)
In MoW: ALN
In WormWiring:
ALNLh,
ALNRh,
ALNLm,
ALNRm
In Wormbase: ALN, ALNL, ALNR
Lineage: AB plapappppap, AB prapappppap
Location: Tail
Description: Neurons associated with ALM, send processes into tailspike.
Neurotransmitter/ Neuropeptide: - Acetylcholine
(Loer, 2010; Duerr et al, 2008; Rand and Nonet, 1997-Appendix 2)
Innexin expression:
- INX-3
- INX-4 (in early larva)
- INX-7
- UNC-9
(Altun et al., 2009)
Receptor expression:
- DOP-1; D1-like dopamine receptor
- SER-2; tyramine receptor
- LGC-55; ligand-gated ion channel (tyramine-gated chloride channel)
(Wormbase; Altun, 2011; Pirri et al., 2009; Tsalik et al., 2003)
Function:
- Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC, e.g. GCY-35 and GCY-36)-expressing oxygen-sensing neurons (URX, AQR, PQR, SDQ, BDU, ALN, and PLN)

ALNL (AB plapappppap) development in the embryo. Dorsal view. Bottom is left side of the embryo. Spheres indicate individual nuclei. Black sphere: ancestors of ALNL (since last ALNL ancestor has not yet gone through its final division, the black sphere seen at the end of this movie is still AB plapapppp); dark grey spheres: apoptotic cells; other cells follow the WA color code (after they acquire specific cell or tissue identities). 0 min is fertilization.
