WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1027

• Pattern: In transgenic worms, the GFP fusion protein was expressed strongly in pharyngeal muscle, in the intestinal muscles, and occasionally faintly in the egg-laying muscles. The reporter was also expressed in several neurons of the nerve ring ganglia.

any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
