WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13641

• Pattern: The W01A8.1 translational fusion constructs resulted in high levels of cytoplasmic proteins present in intestinal and epidermal cells on vesicular structures with the characteristic appearance of lipid droplets. This pattern of expression and cellular distribution was observed beginning at the three-fold embryonic stage and continued throughout development to adulthood. To confirm that the observed GFP-associated vesicular structures were indeed lipid droplets, transgenic animals were stained with the lipophilic reagent LipidTox as previously described (O'Rourke et al., 2009). The translational GFP fusion protein reporters were localized at the periphery of fat droplets that were LipidTox positive.

primary cell type that forms the hypodermis.	hypodermal cell		WBbt:0007846
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

Remark	Definition	Other Name	Public Name	Primary Identifier
	The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity.		adult Ce	WBls:0000041
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo.		fully-elongated embryo Ce	WBls:0000021
	A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood.		larva Ce	WBls:0000023
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 520-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo is elongated and tripple fold. A stage between 2-fold embryo and fully-elongated embryo. Also called pretzel embryo or pretzel stage.		3-fold embryo Ce	WBls:0000020
