Expression Pattern :

Pattern  A translational acd-5::mKate2 C-terminal fusion showed expression in the intestinal epithelial cells, localising to the apical membrane, as confirmed by co-localisation with an apical membrane marker (OPT-2::GFP [Nehrke, 2003]) and by comparing the localisation with that of markers for the intestinal cytoplasm (Pdel-5::GFP) and lumen (ingested fluorescent dye, DiO.

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
