WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13240

• Pattern: In adults the pattern of UNC-44C::GFP(ju1413) fluorescence was generally consistent with that described for UNC-44 common isoforms by immunostaining (Otsuka et al., 2002); however we also observed strong expression in muscles and in gonadal spermathecal/sheath cells. UNC-44C::GFP(ju1413) expression was detected from early embryos to late larvae. Immediately before the bean stage of embryogenesis, UNC- 44C::GFP proteins were expressed in epidermal cells, within which they localized to the cell periphery. At postnatal L1 stage, UNC-44C::GFP was evident at the peripheries of epidermal seam cells and gut cells. In late larvae and adults, UNC-44C::GFP was seen in cells undergoing morphogenesis or fusion, such as vulval and seam cells.

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
