WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9099

• Pattern: This mab-31 2Kb 5' flanking sequence was active in gut cells of the pretzel-stage embryo and throughout the larval stages. In adult males and hermaphrodites, gfp reporter signal was observed in the pharynx, body hypodermis, and intestine. On the other hand, mab-31 expression is also observed in support cells of neuronal sensilla, like amphid socket cells and phasmid socket cells. In the wild-type male tail, the mab-31 transcriptional reporter expression was detected in structural cells highlighting the cell bodies and processes of all sensory rays.

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
