WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9816

• Pattern: GFP expression was observed from early embryogenesis through to the adult. In the L1/L2, many nerve cells in the nerve ring, elsewhere in head and in the tail expressed GFP, as well as many other cells in the head, in the hypodermis and/or muscle. GFP expression was also observed in the intestine in some larvae and adults but this was much weaker and less consistent than other components. Additionally, strong expression in some other unidentified cells in the centre of the body of L1/L2s was seen inconsistently. The GFP remained in some neurons at high levels into adulthood.

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
