WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11266

• Pattern: In wild-type worms, in addition to being in the amphid neurons and the gut, the protein is also found in coelomocytes. In the coelomocytes,the full-length DAF-28::GFP protein was present in vacuoles that have been shown to take up the endocytosis marker FM4-64 (Fares and Greenwald, 2001). daf-28::gfp transcriptional reporters are not expressed in coelomocytes (Li et al., 2003) (G.K., S.T., and P.N., unpublished data). The presence of DAF-28::GFP in coelomocytes,therefore, is the result of uptake of the protein from the psuedocoelomic fluid rather than that of transcription of daf-28 in these cells.

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
A free-floating spherical cell lying in the pseudocoelomic cavity of larvae and adult C. elegans which can endocytose many compounds, possibly for immune surveillance. There are six coelomocytes in adult hermaphrodites, and they display prominent cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles.	coelomocyte		WBbt:0005751
