Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Under standard laboratory culture conditions, clec-4p::GFP was constitutively expressed in the intestine of worms throughout all developmental stages. However, expression of clec-4p::GFP seemed to be decreased in L4s and adults, in which a strong GFP signal could only be observed in the first intestinal ring (int1) and the posterior intestine. In addition to its intestinal expression, clec-4p::GFP is constitutively expressed in amphid neurons from the first larval to the adult stage. Primary Identifier  Expr15811

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
