WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15194

• Pattern: We consistently observed aat-1::mCherry fluorescence in several pairs of head neurons; pharynx; reproductive system -including vulval muscles, uterine muscles, and uterine-vulva cells; excretory cells; and weak transgene expression in the intestine of adult animals. Reporter fusions controlled by the aat-1 and nkat-1 promoters showed overlapping expression patterns in RMDV and RIM neurons

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
