WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3805

• Pattern: GON-14::VENUS was broadly expressed in somatic cells, beginning in ~50 cell embryos. Expression persisted throughout embryogenesis and larval development, but became fainter in adults. Of particular note, GON-14::VENUS was present in the somatic gonadal precursors, Z1 and Z4, and the developing somatic gonad, the VPCs and developing vulva, and the intestine. Expression was not detected in the germ line; however, this was possible a result of transgene silencing.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3805
• Subcellular Localization: GON-14::VENUS was predominantly nuclear and often concentrated in nuclear puncta or speckles. The number of speckles per nucleus varied from a few to more than 30.

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
