WormMine

WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression is observed in a few neurons of the pharyngeal nervous system (PN), in numerous unidentified NR interneurons, in most motor neurons of the VNC, and in neurons and muscle cells in the tail. Diffuse GFP expression is also observed in vulval muscles (VM) and diffusely in the intestine (INT). Primary Identifier  Expr8325

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. ventral cord neuron ventral cord motoneuron WBbt:0005300
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
