An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  We found that wht-2::GFP expression in embryos was limited to intestinal cells, first being detected when the intestinal primordium was composed of four cells (E4 stage). The activity of the wht-2 promoter persisted in intestinal cells through embryogenesis into adulthood. In adults, the wht-2 promoter was also active in a few unidentified head neurons located near the pharynx. Primary Identifier  Expr14929

neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx. head neuron   WBbt:0006751
any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm. intestinal cell   WBbt:0005792
