WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13585

• Pattern: Extremely faint pharyngeal and intestinal expression in larvae and adults. Fox et al., (2007) describe expression of a gfp transcriptional fusion in bodywall muscle, along with spermathecal and head neuronal expression.
• Primary Identifier: Expr13585
• Remark: Strain UL1975, UL2319

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
