Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  MFB-1::GFP was expressed throughout the animal with the highest concentration in the gut, the spermatheca, and the nervous system. By feeding the animals with bacteria expressing RNAi constructs against GFP to reduce non-neuronal GFP expression, GFP expression was identified also in the ALM and AVM neurons. Primary Identifier  Expr12162

an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization. spermatheca   WBbt:0005319
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
Complement of nervous tissue (neurones, nerves, receptors and support cells) serving to detect, relay and coordinate information about an animal`s internal and external environments and to initiate and integrate its effector responses and activities. nervous system   WBbt:0005735
