WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16507

• Primary Identifier: Expr16507
• Subcellular Localization: To examine where PALS-17 and PALS-20 proteins are expressed and if they colocalize in intestinal cells, we examined PALS-17::GFP and PALS-20::wrmScarlet translational reporters co-expressed in the same animals. We found that these two proteins formed puncta in a subset of intestinal cells, and in most cases, they colocalized with each other. Furthermore, we observed fluorescent signals from both reporters at the apical border of the intestinal cells, lining the intestinal lumen. PALS-17 and PALS-20 were also diffusely expressed in the cytosol in some intestinal cells.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
