WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8861

• Pattern: SMF-3::GFP was mostly observed all along the intestine, with a weaker expression in the most proximal and distal regions. A weak epidermal expression in hyp1 to 6, hyp7 and hyp8 to 12, and in head and tail neurons was also seen. The GFP signal was detected from late embryogenesis to adult stage, with generally higher expression levels in young larvae (L1 stage).
• Primary Identifier: Expr8861
• Remark: Picture: Fig 6, Fig 7.
• Subcellular Localization: SMF-1::GFP and SMF-3::GFP were localized at the apical plasma membrane in all epithelia in which they were expressed.

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
