WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3156

• Pattern: Both reporters expressed GFP in head muscle cells, anterior intestinal cells, posterior intestinal cells, and tail muscle cells. The GFP::FBL-1 fusion protein accumulated around the pharynx, apparently in its basal lamina, and in the intestinal cytoplasm. The pharyngeal accumulation was not dependent on gon-1 activity because GFP::FBL-1 fusion protein was detected around the pharynx in gon-1(0) mutants.

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
Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
