WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8537

• Pattern: When fused to a GFP reporter, the 21-kb region upstream of nsy-7 drove expression in numerous cell types including gut, the amphid sheath glial cells, and head and tail neurons including AWC, ASE, and ASH. In adult animals, nsy-7::GFP was asymmetrically expressed in one AWC neuron. The nsy-7-expressing neuron was identified by crossing a line expressing nsy-7::GFP with a line expressing an srsx-3::mCherry (AWCOFF) reporter or a str-2::dsRed2 (AWCON) reporter. nsy-7 was consistently expressed in the same cell as str-2 (145/158 animals), and contralateral to the cell expressing srsx-3 (99/99 animals). Therefore, nsy-7 appears to be expressed in AWCON but not AWCOFF.

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
