WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16053

• Pattern: A functional transcriptional reporter for CKR-1 revealed strong expression in many neurons and weak expression in the intestine. In the nervous system, ckr-1 expresses in the head and ventral cord neurons. CKR-1-expressing neurons include head motor neurons SMD and RME , interneurons AIB and RIM, peptidergic neurons RIS, and body motor neurons A, B, and D.
• Primary Identifier: Expr16053

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.	ventral cord neuron	ventral cord motoneuron	WBbt:0005300
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
