WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9750

• Pattern: GFP was seen throughout all stages, in intestinal nuclei and many unidentified cells in the head and tail. No expression in the body wall was seen, in contrast to reporter fusions for nhr-66a (see UL3531).
• Primary Identifier: Expr9750

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
