WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11539

• Pattern: CGT-3::EGFP was expressed in pharyngeal intestinal valve, intestinal rectal valve and hypodermis. In transgenic rescue experiment, relatively weak but definite expression of the cgt-3 gene was detected also in the germline. Searching the in situ hybridization database (see NEXTDB online at http://nematode.lab.nig.ac.jp/ ) with cgt sequences revealed that the cgt-3 gene is expressed in the gonad of adult hermaphrodites. Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) by Wang et al. (2009) also showed that cgt-3 is among a set of 603 germline-specific/enriched genes identified only by SAGE.

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
