WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11033

• Pattern: TTM-1A::GFP was expressed in the intestine and hypodermis; the same tissue distribution pattern was displayed by transgenic animals expressing GFP alone under the control of the ttm-1a promoter, indicating that the coding sequences do not substantially influence the tissue expression pattern.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11033
• Subcellular Localization: In intestinal and hypodermal cells, TTM- 1A::GFP displayed a punctuate pattern. TTM- 1A::GFP did not colocalize with the autofluorescence of gut granules in intestinal cells or with MitoTracker in hypodermal cells (data not shown), suggesting that TTM-1A does not localize to lysosome-related organelles or mitochondria.

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
