WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr14602

• Pattern: CATP-6::FP is expressed in a punctate pattern in many neurons in the head and tail, all body wall muscles, the posterior gut, the spermatheca, the DTC and the pharyngeal cells. CATP-6::FP is also expressed in the gonadal sheath cells, where it appears to be closely associated with the plasma membrane and is not punctate. Notably, native CATP-6::FP is strongly expressed in the germ line within the mitotic region, the transition zone and the pachytene region, and appears to localize to the plasma membrane.

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

five pairs of thin gonadal sheath cells form a single layer covering the germ line component of each arm, each pair occupying a stereotyped position along the gonad proximal-distal axis.	gonadal sheath cell		WBbt:0005828
