WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9212

• Pattern: nck-1 genomic::gfp is expressed in many tissues including epidermal cells, nervous system, intestine and pharynx. In the adults, GFP was observed in the intestine, pharynx, vulva, uterus, head neurons, ventral nerve cord, excretory canal cell, seam cells, gonads, ray sub lineages and the adult male tail.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9212

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
