WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2975

• Pattern: When observed by GFP fluorescence, TBX-9 was detected in a subset of cells,which were considered to be not only the cells containing the tbx-9 mRNA, but also their descendant cells. During morphogenesis,when the tbx-9 mRNA was no longer detected, the TBX-9 protein was observed in dorsal hypodermal cells, lateral hypodermal cells, ventral hypodermal cells, and intestinal cells. GFP fluorescence in the hypodermis and intestine lasted until the early part of the L1 larval stage, then it disappeared. Body-wall muscle cells derived from the MS cell are located in anterior and mid-ventral regions of the body. GFP signals observed near hypodermal cells in the head may be MS-derived body-wall muscle cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2975
• Subcellular Localization: Notably,TBX-9::GFP fluorescence was exclusively observed in the nucleus, indicating strict nuclear localization of the protein.

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
