WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Early embryos have expression in a patch of internal cells at one end; comma stage embryos have expressing cells in an internal posterior region and also some dorsal cells. Late embryo to adult show expression in pharynx, intestine, excretory cell, and vulva. There is also expression in amphids, phasmids and canal-associated nerves, and, weakly, in head muscles.

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
