WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9068

• Pattern: Transgenic lines carrying pDS15 showed GFP expression in pharyngeal, hypodermal and intestinal cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9068
• Remark: In fact, transgenic lines carrying both drag-1p::gfp and sma-6p::mRFP showed co-localization of the two reporters in all three tissues described above. Therefore, drag-1 is expressed in the same cell types as sma-6 in hermaphrodites. However, drag-1p::gfp is not expressed in the male tail cells that express sma-6p::mRFP. Picture: Fig 4A to 4L.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
