WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11082

• Pattern: The Ppud-3::pud-3::GFP transgene was expressed in the nuclei of hyp7, the largest hypodermal cell that wraps around most of the worm body. It was also expressed in the pharyngeal muscle pm3, rectal gland cells, and less frequently, in the intestine and a few neuron-like cells in the head.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11082

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
