Functional Descriptions sqv-2

sqv-2 encodes a glycosaminoglycan galactosyltransferase II, biochemically active in vitro, that is required for cytokinesis of one-cell embryos and for vulval morphogenesis; the common requirement for SQV-2 in both cytokinesis and morphogenesis may be to promote filling an extracellular space with hygroscopic proteoglycans (either in the eggshell, or underneath the L4 cuticle), which in turn may cause the space to fill with fluid.

intestine "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."
