WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8275

• Pattern: GFP expression was observed in various tissues, including many neurons in the head and tail, head muscles, intestine, phasmid socket cells, spermatheca, and eggs. A weak expression was also observed in the cells of the gonad and vulva. The neurons expressing ser-3 promoter-driven GFP in the tail were identified as PHA, PHB, and PVQ neurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8275

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
