WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11806

• Pattern: The distal enhancer de209 can activate transcription in the pharyngeal muscles, although it exhibits distinct patterns of activity in other cell types. 5Xde209 activated reporter expression in a pattern similar to the distal enhancer DE3 in the pharyngeal muscles, with occasional expression in the m6 muscles, marginal cells, and pharyngeal-intestinal valve cells. The parental Dpes-10DlacZ reporter in pPD95.27 was occasionally expressed in posterior gut cells, with < 0.25 h-galactosidase expressing pharyngeal cells transformant.

• Remark: Feature : [ceh-22de209::pPD95.27]

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A group of six equivalent cells forms a tightly constructed `valve` that links the posterior bulb of the pharynx to the anterior four cells of the intestine. These six cells comprise a small epithelial channel with a cuticular lining in continuity with the pharyngeal cuticle and link the lumen of the pharynx to the large lumen of the anterior intestine.	pharyngeal-intestinal valve	cardia	WBbt:0005767
