WormMine

WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Adult Expression: intestine; Larval Expression: pharynx; intestine; hypodermis; seam cells; Nervous System; ventral nerve cord; head neurons; unidentified cells; unidentified cells in tail ; Primary Identifier  Expr6363
Remark  Also expressed in (comments from author) : GFP expression in adults was much less than in the larvae. Strain: BC10601 Reporter Gene  [cyk-4::gfp] transcriptional fusion. PCR products were amplified using primer A: 5' [TTTCGATAAATTGGACGGTATATT] 3' and primer B 5' [CTGGACTTGATTCTAAAATGTGGA] 3'.

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. ventral cord neuron ventral cord motoneuron WBbt:0005300
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
Epidermal layer. hypodermis epidermis WBbt:0005733
Complement of nervous tissue (neurones, nerves, receptors and support cells) serving to detect, relay and coordinate information about an animal`s internal and external environments and to initiate and integrate its effector responses and activities. nervous system   WBbt:0005735
the feeding organ, a neuro-muscular pump in the head of the animal, used to ingest food, bacteria suspended in liquid, filter them out, grind them up and transport posteriorly into the instestine. pharynx esophagus WBbt:0003681
neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. head neuron   WBbt:0006751
a group of hypodermal cells that lie along the apical midline of the hypodermis, at the extreme left and right sides between nose and tail seam cell lateral hypodermis WBbt:0005753
posterior region, from rectum to the end tail   WBbt:0005741
