Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP was highly expressed in the vulval muscles and the intestinal cells; the expression was most intense at the junctions between the pharynx and intestine and the intestine and the rectum. GFP was expressed moderately in the descendants of P5.p, P6.p, and P7.p. In addition, GFP was expressed in ectopic pseudovulvae. A significant GFP signal was not detected in other cells. Primary Identifier  Expr1898
Subcellular Localization  The CDF-1::GFP fusion protein is concentrated at the edge of the intestinal cells and the descendants of the Pn.p cells, indicating that it is localized to the plasma membrane.

A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine. pharyngeal-intestinal valve cardia WBbt:0005767
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
