WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3071

• Pattern: Evaluation of the expression from an lpd-1Prom::GFP fusion construct in transgenic animals revealed that, in addition to the previously reported expression in intestinal cells (See Expr2348), the construct is strongly expressed in a subset of head neurons . Using a lipophilic dye, DiI, which highlights chemosensory ciliated neurons, these neurons were identified as amphids.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3071

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
