WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11034

• Pattern: TTM-1B::GFP was expressed in multiple tissues including intestine, head neurons, seam cells, hypodermis, and the vulva consistent with the tissue distribution pattern displayed by Pttm-1b::GFP transgenic animals.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11034
• Subcellular Localization: TTM-1B::GFP was localized to intracellular compartments in several tissues such as seam cells and head neurons (data not shown). However, in intestinal cells, TTM-1B::GFP was localized to the plasma membrane and restricted to the apical side of the cell which forms the surface of the intestinal lumen. Thus, TTM-1B displayed distinct intracellular localization in different cell types.

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
