WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9227

• Pattern: Expression of HID-1::GFP was observed predominantly in the nervous system, the intestine, the pharynx, and in uv1 secretory cells (data not shown). In the nervous system, HID-1-GFP was primarily localized in the synapse-rich nerve ring, ventral cord, and dorsal cord process bundles. In the nerve cords HID-1-GFP was punctate in distribution. GFP fluorescence was detected in neuronal cell bodies as well. HID-1-GFP under the hid-1 promoter was capable of rescuing the uncoordinated movement, aldicarb resistance, the egg laying, and the defecation defects of hid-1(sa722) null mutants.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9227

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
