Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Staining of large nuclei localized alongside intestine, posteriorly of the pharyngo-intestinal valve and anteriorly of the anus. In some experiments staining of a few parapharyngeal nuclei in 1/10 transgene (pPd26pgp3.XX) is observed. Reproducible staining is limited to the intestine with some variation in the number of cells that stain and in intensity. pPD26pgp3.XX strains are detectable in embryonic intestinal cells. Most uniform staining seen in early larval stages. The fraction of L3 and L4 and adult animals that are stained is smaller and staining is of less intensity. Nuclei of anterior-most ring of four cells and of the posterior four-six cells are usually more heavily stained than nuclei of other cells. Primary Identifier  Expr749

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
