WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15027

• Pattern: PCK-2::YFP accumulated in the intestine, epidermis, body wall muscle, pharyngeal muscles, and sex muscles of both sexes; no neural expression was detectable. Expression of PCK-2 in the intestine and pharyngeal muscle is consistent with the earlier report that these tissues contain PEPCK activity (Yuan et al., 2016); however, in these tissues, the expression pattern suggests that the enzyme is likely expressed from pck-2, instead of the pck-1.

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
