Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  frh-1::gfp3, which does not contain the frh-1 gene but contains all the 5 sequence present in frh-1::gfp1, was not expressed in amphid neurons, suggesting the presence of a regulatory sequence within the frh-1 gene that would drive the expression of the gene in head neurons. On the other hand, the frh-1::gfp3 was expressed in the pharynx, gut cells, spermatheca, and body wall muscles, as the frh-1::gfp1, indicating that frh-1::gfp1 would contain most of the necessary sequences for frataxin expression.

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
