WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12863

• Pattern: The C. elegans N2 strain was also examined for the expression of DPY-31 following immunolocalisation with a C. elegans affinity purified anti-DPY- 31 peptide antibody. As for the transgenic reporter fusion (Expr12862), the expression of CeDPY-31 was primarily located in the gut cells, but was also found in the excretory duct of the excretory system.
• Primary Identifier: Expr12863

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
