WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1189

• Pattern: There was GFP fluorescence in the large, H-shaped, excretory cell (ec). The first four epithelial cells of the intestine (ic), the muscles of the defecation system (em), and the hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSN), which innervate vulval muscles, were labeled as well.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1189
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. clh-3 (WS60) = ceclc-3 (cgc3797).

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
