ZFIN Phenotype Statement: primary motor neuron axon EGFP expression mislocalised, abnormal

Phenotype:	primary motor neuron axon EGFP expression mislocalised, abnormal
Note:	This phenotype statement describes a gene expression or antibody labeling pattern. Anatomy terms are combined with a gene or antibody and phenotype quality.

EXPRESSION ANATOMY:

Name:	primary motor neuron
Synonyms:	primary motoneuron
Definition:	Motor neurons that arise during the first day of development. Primary motoneurons have larger diameter cell bodies and axons than secondary motoneurons and are positioned more dorsally and medially than secondary motoneurons. Primary motoneurons are present in a single bilateral pair of clusters in each spinal segment and innervate axial muscle fibers in the corresponding pair of myotomes. Axons make a conspicuous loop around the Mauthner axon before entering the ventral root.

Name:	axon
Synonyms:
Definition:	The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter.
Ontology:	GO: Cellular Component [GO:0030424] QuickGO AmiGO

EXPRESSED GENE:

Name:

EGFP

Previous Name:

enhanced green fluorescent protein (1)

EXPRESSION QUALITY:

Name:	mislocalised
Synonyms:	ectopic, mislocalized
Definition:	A positional quality inhering in a bearer by virtue the bearer's being changed in abnormal position.
