Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In wild-type adults, MES-6 staining is most prominent in the germline, but is also detectable in intestinal nuclei. A maternal load of protein is seen in the nuclei of oocytes. In early embryos, MES-6 is present in the nuclei of all cells. As embryogenesis proceeds, staining gradually fades in somatic cells. In late embryos and L1 larvae, MES-6 remains faintly visible in a number of cell types, including the intestine, but is most prominent in Z2 and Z3, the primordial germ cells. Primary Identifier  Expr1413
Subcellular Localization  MES-6 is localized in nuclei.

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
