WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8599

• Pattern: In transgenic worms expressing GFP driven by the kht-1 promoter in a kht-1 KO background (Pkht::gfp), intense GFP fluorescence was visible in the PLM touch neurons. Pkht-1::gfp also yielded signals in intestine and in several neurons in the head and tail, which are currently unidentified.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8599
• Remark: Picture: Figure 3A.

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
