female genital.	vulva		WBbt:0006748
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

Pattern	A transcriptional construct with the internal trxr-2 promoter was mostly expressed in intestine, while the one with the external trxr-2 promoter, identical to the unc-32 promoter, was expressed in head neurons, nerve cord, and vulva as previously shown (Barstead, 1999a; Pujol et al., 2001). TRXR-2::gfp was prominent in intestine when driven by internal trxr-2 promoter, and in muscles by external promoter.	Primary Identifier	Expr10548
Subcellular Localization	Mitotracker staining was well co-localized with the punctuated expression of trxr-2, demonstrating that TRXR-2 is mitochondrial protein as predicted.
