WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr645

• Pattern: wrt-5 starts expression at the beginning of morphogenesis in all seam cells and the excretory cells and remains until adult stage. In larvae and adults, wrt-5 is also expressed strongly in the six cells of the pharyngeal-intestinal valve and the rectal valve. Expression is seen in phasmid socket cells and in sheath and/or socket cells of the anterior sensilla at all postembryonic stages. In adults expression is observed in gonadal sheath cells, spermathecal sheath cells and the uterus.

• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).

A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine.	pharyngeal-intestinal valve	cardia	WBbt:0005767

a structural (glial) cell which forms an specialized environment surrounding the sensory ending(s) of one or more neurons; sometimes accompanied by a more distal socket cell. In early development of the sensory nerves and of the nerve ring some sheath cells (cephalics and labials) may also provide a substrate for axon guidance	neuronal sheath cell	pocket cell	WBbt:0005811
