WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9981

• Pattern: The expression of Pexoc-7::GFP was observed from embryo to adulthood (data not shown), through all developmental stages. In adults, strong expression was observed in multiple tissues including nerve ring, pharynx, tail neurons, dorsal and ventral cord, coelomocyte and intestine as well as in vulva, seam cells and body wall muscle.

female genital.	vulva		WBbt:0006748
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
a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring.	ventral nerve cord	ventral cord	WBbt:0005829
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
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
neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum.	tail neuron		WBbt:0006759
a group of hypodermal cells that lie along the apical midline of the hypodermis, at the extreme left and right sides between nose and tail	seam cell	lateral hypodermis	WBbt:0005753
the most extensive region of neuropil in the animal, consists of a large toroidal bundle of processes.	nerve ring	circumpharyngeal nerve ring	WBbt:0006749
a bundle of nerve processes that runs along the dorsal mid-line of the animal.	dorsal nerve cord	dorsal cord	WBbt:0006750
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
