Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The initial four transgenic lines generated from the construct comprising the promoter region and the first exon and first large intron of pdi-3 (pPDI-3PLacZ1) did not produce a discernable beta-galactosidase staining pattern in the four independent lines generated. The second promoter reporter construct (pPDI-3PLacZ2), which only contained a few amino acids of pdi-3 exon one, resulted in the isolation of three transgenic lines in which each produced distinct beta-galactosidase staining patterns. Prominent beta-galac-tosidase reporter expression was observed in many tissues included the lateral seam cell hypodermis, and additionally, strong staining was also observed in the gut cells.

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
