WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1261

• Pattern: Expressed in a subset of neurons in the pharynx and in the extrapharyngeal nervous system. Expression was also noticed in intestine cells(int1-int9). In the pharynx, eat-4 was found to be expressed in M3, NSM neurons, and possibly I5, but not in muscle. Clear and consistent eat-4 reporter expression was found in 15 different anatomical types. ADA, ALM, ASH, ASK, AUA, and AVJ or AIN, AVM, FLP, IL1, LUA, OLL, OLQ, PLM, PVD, and PVR.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1261

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
