WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8267

• Pattern: In transgenic lines harboring the reporter, GFP fluorescence is detected in the hypodermis and intestine. No fluorescence is seen in other tissues of the worm. Within the hypodermis, the fusion protein seems to be widely expressed. Strong signals are detected in the head region and in hyp7. No signal is detected, however, in the seam cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8267
• Remark: Picture: Figure 2C.
• Subcellular Localization: A punctuate GFP signal is also apparent close to the positions of the ventral and dorsal nerve cords.

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
