WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13188

• Pattern: At the time of Q migration, a Pnfm-1::gfp transcriptional reporter showed expression in posterior cells near the anus, including posterior intestinal cells, the three rectal gland cells, and other unidentified cells that might be the anal sphincter muscle and the stomatointestinal muscle. Variable expression in the hypodermis was also observed, as well as in body wall muscle cells. Pnfm-1::gfp expression was not observed in migrating Q neuroblasts.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13188

	rectal gland cell		WBbt:0005799
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
