Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Broad GFP expression occurred in young larvae including possibly all ventral nerve cord neurons from the L1 to the L3. GFP expression was also seen in body wall muscles throughout development, as well as in the sex muscles and the developing vulva. Intestinal expression was observed from the L3 onwards but inconsistently within and between individuals. Primary Identifier  Expr9819

neuron with cell body associated with the ventral nerve cord. ventral cord neuron ventral cord motoneuron WBbt:0005300
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
