Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression begins at midpoint of the animal and continues to the posterior intestinal cells. Strongest expression in posterior intestinal cells, occurs just prior to cell division in late L1 larva. Intestinal expression persists until L2 stage although at a lower level than that in the L1 premitotic intestinal cells. There is also weak expression in many anal and head neurons during L2 to L4 stages. Primary Identifier  Expr701
Remark  Reporter gene fusion type not specified. Similar expression pattern to mdl-1. This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).

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
