WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr2920

• Pattern: In transgenic animals, sgk-1::gfp expression starts in late embryos just before hatching. At postembryonic stages, sgk-1::gfp is expressed in sensory (e.g., ASK, ADL, ASI) and many other neurons. In the tail, sgk-1::gfp is expressed in the sensory neurons PHA and PHB and in the interneurons LUA (identified by costaining with DiI). sgk-1::gfp expression was also observed in the motor neurons of the ventral nerve cord and in the intestine.
• Primary Identifier: Expr2920
• Subcellular Localization: In neurons, SGK-1::GFP is localized both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, whereas in the intestine it is exclusively cytoplasmic.

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
