WormMine

WS294

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Strong expression in intestine of the adult. Strong expression in hypodermis (hypodermal cells of the head and body regions), nuclei in the head corresponding to hyp5, hyp6, and hyp7 in L1 animals. Primary Identifier  Expr805
Remark  In dauer larvae expression repressed in intestinal cells and no expression observed in hypodermal cells. Reporter gene fusion type not specified. Subcellular Localization  CUC-1 is localized to the cytosol according to the immunoblots of cell lysates of the strain using the anti-epitope antibody.

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
