Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression of trxr-1::gfp reporter was seen in the hypodermis, in the pharynx and within the nervous system. TRXR-1::GFP reporter is expressed in tissues implicated in molting. TRXR-1::GFP is expressed in pharyngeal muscle, seam cells, and weakly in the hypodermis. Additional expression is observed in rectal epithelial cells and in the posterior part of the intestine. Expression is detected in one of a pair of cells that lie in the anterior head region ; their position and morphology are consistent with them being amphid sheath cells. TRXR-1::GFP is expressed in neurons within the nerve ring. Primary Identifier  Expr9186
Remark  Reporter gene fusion type not specified.

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

Major cell type of nervous tissue, specialized for transmission of information in the form of patterns of impulses. neuron neurone WBbt:0003679
a group of hypodermal cells that lie along the apical midline of the hypodermis, at the extreme left and right sides between nose and tail seam cell lateral hypodermis WBbt:0005753
These cells include: B, F, Y, U, K' and K. All rectal epithelial cells contain secretory membrane stacks along this region facing the lumenal cuticle and produce some portion of the cuticular lining of the rectum. These are interfacial cells that connect the alimentary system to the main body syncytium. rectal epithelial cell rectal epithelium WBbt:0008182
