WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2928

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
the feeding organ, a neuro-muscular pump in the head of the animal, used to ingest food, bacteria suspended in liquid, filter them out, grind them up and transport posteriorly into the instestine.	pharynx	esophagus	WBbt:0003681
The organ in which the eggs are developed and protected until laid.	uterus		WBbt:0006760

Pattern	The cyp-4::gfp reporter gene was expressed in many somatic cell nuclei, including those of the intestine, the pharynx and the uterus.	Primary Identifier	Expr2928
Remark	Transgenes that are expressed as multiple copies are silenced in the C. elegans germline (Seydoux and Schedl, 2001). Therefore in the germline, absence of CYP-4::GFP cannot be taken as indicative of cyp-4 expression.	Subcellular Localization	Expressed in somatic cell nuclei.
