WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9782

• Pattern: GFP expression was observed from embryo through to adulthood. In L1s, mostly non-nuclear localized patches of GFP were seen. In adults, the pattern looked more complex. GFP that was partly nuclear-localized and partly cytoplasmic, was seen in the pharynx and pharyngeal-intestinal valve, bodywall and tail muscle, and maybe vulval muscle, and spermathecae. In several cells in the head expression was nuclear-localized.

an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization.	spermatheca		WBbt:0005319
A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine.	pharyngeal-intestinal valve	cardia	WBbt:0005767
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
muscle associated with hermaphrodite vulva.	vulval muscle		WBbt:0005821
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
