Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression of GFP was initially detected in embryos at the comma to 1.5-fold stages (310-350 min after first cell division) in the neurons, the intestine, and the body wall muscle. In older embryos, expression of GFP is gradually diminished in the body wall muscle, while it persisted in the neurons and intestine. In adult worms, expression of GFP was detected in the intestine, the spermatheca, and some of the head neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr9298

an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization. spermatheca   WBbt:0005319
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
Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion. body wall musculature body muscle WBbt:0005813
neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. head neuron   WBbt:0006751
