Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  alkb-8 is expressed ubiquitously in embryos from approximately the 40-cell stage throughout the embryonic development. The expression continued in L1 larvae, although it was necessary to use longer exposure time for its visualization in accordance with the decreased expression observed in L1 larvae in the RT-qPCR experiment. The cytoplasmic expression of the transgene was strong in neurons, pharyngeal and body wall muscles, and other tissues such as somatic gonad and the egg-laying apparatus. We also observed diffuse expression in intestinal cells. Primary Identifier  Expr13965

type of cells that make up muscle layers in the pharynx. pharyngeal muscle cell   WBbt:0005451
Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion. body wall musculature body muscle WBbt:0005813
Major cell type of nervous tissue, specialized for transmission of information in the form of patterns of impulses. neuron neurone WBbt:0003679
The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus. somatic gonad somatic germline WBbt:0005785
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
An apparatus for laying eggs of the hermaphrodite reproductive system, consists of the uterus, the uterine muscles, the vulva, the vulval muscles, and a local neuropil formed by the egg-laying neurons. egg-laying apparatus   WBbt:0008587
