Expression Pattern :

Pattern  SID-2 nucleic acid binding transmembrane protein is specifically enriched in the male-specific ciliated sensory neurons (CEMs, RnBs, and HOB). In all male-specific neurons (CEMs, RnBs, and HOB), the SID-2::mScarlet signal was observed in neuronal cell bodies as a few puncta and was mostly accumulated in ciliary regions. SID-2::mScarlet was also observed in two unidentified cells whose processes converge near the hook structure of the male tail.The SID-2::mScarlet reporter was co-expressed with PKD-2::GFP in male-specific EV-releasing sensory neurons (EVNs), as well as in the intestine in both males and hermaphrodites. SID-2::mScarlet was abundant on the apical surface of the intestine and fully functional in environmental RNAi, consistent with its known role in endocytosis of dsRNA.We also observed SID- 2::mScarlet being environmentally released in the form of ciliary EVs.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
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
