WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9787

• Pattern: GFP was seen in 100 to 200 cell embryos onwards, in many nuclei. GFP expression in the DVA neuron was apparent from the L1 to the mature adult. Intestinal expression of GFP was seen from the L1 or L2 to adult but the level of GFP in this tissue decreased in more mature adults. Many neurons in the head, and some in tail, also expressed GFP. GFP expression was present throughout the ventral nerve cord in the L1 and L2. The M cell expressed GFP in the L1 and and this continued into the resulting sex muscle precursors in later stages. GFP was also observed in body wall muscle. GFP expression in UL3704 was much fainter than in UL3705 and was only visible in DVA in most individuals.

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
