WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12914

• Pattern: EFN-4-GFP is detectable in intestinal cells prior to int5 intercalation. EFN-4-GFP is not detectable in intestinal cells at later stages, but is abundant in a subset of pharyngeal and valve cells anterior to the intestine. As expected for a secreted protein, EFN- 4-GFP accumulates at high levels in all visible extracellular spaces within the embryo.

	pharyngeal cell		WBbt:0005460
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
