WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr10568

• Pattern: Expression of GLO-2::GFP was first detected during embryonic development in the four intestinal (E4 stage) precursors, which is prior to the appearance of mature gut granules, and persisted in intestinal cells up to the pretzel stage of embryogenesis.
• Primary Identifier: Expr10568
• Subcellular Localization: At all stages, GLO-2::GFP was cytoplasmically localized in intestinal cells and we were unable to detect any organelle enrichment. Anti-GLO-2 antibodies did not mark compartments within intestinal cells (not shown), however they stained prominent organelles within the seam cells of pretzel stage embryos.

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
