WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1346

• Pattern: By using affinity-purified anti-RME-1 antibodies, five RME-1 isoforms were detected on western blots of lysates from a population of whole mixed worm, isolated gonads and isolated intestines. Western blotting of lysates from animals at specific developmental stages showed that the levels of small RME-1 isoforms were relatively constant, whereas the large isoform was absent or weakly expressed before the L2 larval stage, although its expression increased in later larval stages and reached its highest level in adults.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1346

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
