WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr16472

• Pattern: A reporter construct expressing fshr-1 under its endogenous promoter recapitulated the reported expression of the receptor in the intestine and in multiple neurons in the head. In addition, we observed expression of fshr-1 in several cells close to the anterior pharyngeal bulbus that, based on position and morphology of their projections, are most likely glial cells.

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
