skat-1 is expressed in head, tail, body and ventral nerve cord neurons, muscles of the vulva, and intestine.

Subcellular Localization
SKAT-1::GFP was visualized in spherical, autofluorescent, cytoplasmic gut granules, but more brightly in smaller cytoplasmic structures that did not colocalize with intestinal autofluorescence. These structures were abundant and excluded from the nucleus. These data suggest that SKAT-1 at least partially localizes to the Lysosome Related Organelles (LRO) and might directly regulate lysosome related organelles physiology.

Primary Identifier
neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord.
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.
