Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  pPCubi3 Expression is observed in the intestine, nerve ring body muscle, hypodermis, pharynx, pharyngeal-intestinal valve, vulva and weak expression in the ventral nerve cord. No expression is seen in embryos. ppCubi6 Expression is observed at a higher level than pPCUbi3 animals. With additional expression seen in all somatic cells of gonad, including distal tip cells, sheath cells and cells of spermatheca and uterus. Also expression is seen throughout the embryos. Primary Identifier  Expr729
Remark  This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope). pPCUbi6 containing animals show various degrees of gonad abnormality and produce few progeny.

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. ventral cord neuron ventral cord motoneuron WBbt:0005300
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
A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine. pharyngeal-intestinal valve cardia WBbt:0005767
