WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3866

• Pattern: daf-36::gfp was most strikingly expressed in the intestinal cytoplasm at all postembryonic stages, including dauer. In addition, daf-36::gfp was seen in the head mesodermal cell. Occasionally, very faint expression was seen within two unidentified head neurons, posterior to the nerve ring, which were clearly distinct from the XXXR/L. During the L2d stage, prior to entry into dauer diapause, neuronal expression increased slightly, and, surprisingly, expression commenced in the seam cells, epidermal cells located at the lateral midline.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3866
• Subcellular Localization: Expressed in cytoplasm. Visible also in daf-2, daf-7, and daf-11 Daf-c dauers as well as in normal dauers, epidermal daf-36::gfp appeared to be localized in a cytosolic meshwork.

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
