WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12452

• Pattern: In addition to DTCs and body wall muscle cells, gon-1 is expressed in certain additional cell types at the larval and adult stages, including motor neurons at the adult stage, intestine at the L4 stage, vulval muscle, VC4 and VC5at the adult stage and excretory cells. gon-1 is also expressed in certain cells at the embryonic stage (260-280 min after the first cleavage).
• Primary Identifier: Expr12452

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
