WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13349

• Pattern: GFP expression driven by the gop-1 promoter (Pgop-1GFP) was observed from embryonic stages throughout larval and adult stages in several engulfing cell types such as pharyngeal muscle cells, intestine cells, and gonadal sheath cells. GFP expression was also seen in coelomocytes and dorsal and ventral nerve cord, consistent with the function of GOP-1 in endosome and DCV maturation.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13349

a large process bundle that runs along the vental mid-line extending from the ventral region of the nerve ring.	ventral nerve cord	ventral cord	WBbt:0005829
type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx.	pharyngeal muscle cell		WBbt:0005451
a bundle of nerve processes that runs along the dorsal mid-line of the animal.	dorsal nerve cord	dorsal cord	WBbt:0006750
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
five pairs of thin gonadal sheath cells form a single layer covering the germ line component of each arm, each pair occupying a stereotyped position along the gonad proximal-distal axis.	gonadal sheath cell		WBbt:0005828
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
