An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Bright fluorescence was observed in the Hyp5 hypodermal cell at the anterior end of the larvae as well as at other attachment points of the cuticle at the anterior end of larvae, in the arcade cells in the mouth, the anterior pharynx and the amphid socket cells, and in the rectal epithelial cells at the posterior end of the larvae. Bright fluorescence was also observed in the hypodermal cells of each larval stage. Expression was not seen in the seam cells of L1 through L3 larvae; however, the seam cells of the L4 larvae strongly expressed nas-37::GFP. The L4 stage is when the seam cells terminally differentiate and fuse with the hypodermal syncytium. The expression in the hypodermis and seam cells disappeared in adult worms after a few hours. However, expression continued in the vulval epithelial cells and the rectal epithelial cells in the adult. Primary Identifier  Expr3124

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
