WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr8245

• Pattern: In wild-type background, fluorescence was first detected at the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis and persisted throughout the lifespan. At larval and adult stages, most of the ciliated neurons, namely, all 12 classes of amphid sensory neurons, phasmid neurons PHA and PHB, the inner and outer labial neurons (IL1, IL2 and OLQ), AQR, URX, FLP, PDE, PQR and several other neurons (probably OLL, ADE and BAG) were found to express the reporter. In addition to CSNs, fluorescence was often seen in gut cells at larval stages; this intestinal expression decreased as development proceeded. It was difficult to determine precise cellular expression pattern of the translational fusion because of ciliary localization of the fusion protein VENUS :: DYF-11 expressed from this transgene.
• Primary Identifier: Expr8245
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 1. The transcriptional fusions, pGdyf11p(4.1) :: venus and pGdyf11p(2.0) :: venus that carry 4.1- and 2.0-kb promoter, respectively, showed essentially the same expression patterns.

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
