Fusions of both the genomic kin-4 and kin-4 isoform a (kin-4a) with GFP (kin-4::gfp and kin-4a::gfp, respectively) were expressed mainly in head and tail neurons and also in intestinal cells. These results were confirmed using transgenic animals expressing kin-4 promoter-driven GFP (kin-4p::gfp).

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.
