Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr13781 Subcellular Localization  ACS-7 is localized to the peroxisomes. To determine the localization pattern of ACS-7, we generated translational reporter constructs for ACS-7, ACOX- 3, as well as ACOX-1.1, which was previously shown to be localized to the peroxisome (Joo et al., 2010). Co-injection of these constructs into wild-type C. elegans showed that all three proteins are expressed in a punctate pattern in the intestine. In addition, the intestinal expression pattern of ACS-7 overlaps with that of ACOX-1.1 and ACOX-3. Some GFP signal is occasionally seen in LROs, especially in older worms. However, we believe that this GFP signal is caused by autofluorescence of the LROs.

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
