WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr885

• Pattern: When raised on standard media in the absence of arsenite (NGM), aip-1::gfp animals exhibited a variable and low level of GFP expression that was confined primarily to the head and tail hypodermal (epidermal) regions. GFP expression was dramatically increased in aip-1::gfp animals within 4 hours following arsenite exposure and was most prominent in all hypodermal cells and to a lesser extent in intestinal cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr885

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
