Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in pm6, pm7, pm8, vpi, intestine. Weak or rare expression in pm3. Expression in the nervous system: AVK. inx-2 is expressed broadly during early embryogenesis, its intestinal expression levels start to decrease afterhatching, becoming barely detectable in the adult, although its pharyngeal expression continues in the adult.

A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine. pharyngeal-intestinal valve cardia WBbt:0005767
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
