Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Broad GFP expression was seen from early embryogenesis to the adult, but particularly prominently in the intestine and many neurons in the head and tail. There was also higher GFP levels in the seam cells in the L3/L4, possibly at the time of moulting. GFP was observed in the body wall and head, possibly in the hypodermis, in larvae and the adult, and in the adult spermathecae and vulva or uterus. Primary Identifier  Expr9791

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
