WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr520

• Pattern: Expressed in late-stage oocytes. Pseudocoelomic expression in very young and very old hermaphrodites.
• Primary Identifier: Expr520
• Remark: Integrants (bIs1, BIs2, bIs3 and bIs4) made by injecting N2 animals (transgenic marker: rol-6). All gave same results.

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
