WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3647

• Pattern: BEC-1::GFP was ubiquitously expressed throughout development. Its expression level appeared to be most intense in differentiating organs, such as the presumptive ventral nerve cord, the intestine, the developing vulva, and the somatic gonad. The distribution of BEC-1::GFP corresponded to the expression pattern of a transcriptional bec-1::gfp fusion construct reported earlier [see Expr2694].
• Primary Identifier: Expr3647
• Subcellular Localization: The BEC-1::GFP fusion protein was located in the cytoplasm of many cell types and often accumulated in vesicle-like structures. Some expression was also observed in the nucleus.

female genital.	vulva		WBbt:0006748
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
