The HLH-6 transcription factor regulates C. elegans pharyngeal gland development and function.

PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2008

Smit Ryan B, Schnabel Ralf, Gaudet Jeb

Abstract excerpt

The Caenorhabditis elegans pharynx (or foregut) functions as a pump that draws in food (bacteria) from the environment. While the "organ identity factor" PHA-4 is critical for formation of the C. elegans pharynx as a whole, little is known about the specification of distinct cell types within the pharynx. Here, we use a combination of bioinformatics, molecular biology, and genetics to identify a helix-loop-helix...
