An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  GFP fluorescence was observed from the embryo to the adult in a complex and dynamic pattern. Cells that consistently expressed DAF-14::GFP included intestinal cells, lateral hypodermal cells, the anal sphincter muscle, phasmid sheath cells, neurons in the lateral ganglia, the excretory duct cell, and several small cells anterior of the nerve ring that were not identified. In the lateral ganglia, expression was prominent in only a subset of neurons. In particular, strongest expression was often seen in an unidentified interneuron pair in the vicinity of AVJ and RIV. Primary Identifier  Expr967
Remark  An independently isolated integrant (saIs11) carrying a construct without the NLS expressed GFP in the intestine and small cells in the head and tail regions. The authors noted that these small cells could not be identified reliably.

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 left and right lateral ganglia lie beside the nerve ring in the head. They each contain about (30) neuron cell bodies and send their neuronal processes into the ring at its posterior margin either laterally or ventrally via the amphid commissures and ventral ganglion, but form no local neuropil separate from the nerve ring. The lateral ganglia are in close contact with the lateral hypodermal cords. lateral ganglion lateral ganglia WBbt:0005105
