Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Our transcriptional reporter lines revealed that Cel-nhr-1 is broadly expressed in multiple somatic tissues at varying intensities. We found high expression levels in the entire hypodermis and body wall musculature from head to tail, as well as in the majority of the worm's pharyngeal muscles. The latter includes pm3-5, the cells which make up most of the muscular portions of the procorpus, metacorpus, and isthmus. Relatively lower expression levels were found in the stomatal tissues (aa, ap, e1, e3, pm1, and pm2), the terminal bulb of the pharynx (pm6-8), the intestine, and some ventral aspects of the somatic gonad.

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

The components of the gonad that are separate from the germline proper. In hermaphrodite, these include five tissues which are all derived from the somatic primordium : the distal tip cells, the gonadal sheath, the spermatheca, the spermatheca-uterine valve (sp-ut) and the uterus. somatic gonad somatic germline WBbt:0005785
