WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16212

• Pattern: We found that both edem-1 and edem-2 are constitutively expressed in the gut, with stronger expression in anterior and posterior gut cells. EDEM-1 was also detected in hindgut and a few neurons in the head, whereas EDEM-2 was detected in hypodermis, hindgut, pm6 muscle cells of the pharynx, body wall muscle, vulval muscle, pharyngeal epithelial cells, and in a few neurons in the head and tail.

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
