An unusual cation channel mediates photic control of locomotion in Drosophila.

Current biology : CB - 23 Dec 2002

Nash Howard A, Scott Robert L, Lear Bridget C, Allada Ravi

Abstract excerpt

A unique family of putative ion channels that are related to voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels has been identified in genomic and cDNA studies of metazoans. Aside from evidence for expression of family members in the nervous system, little is known about the operation of the channel or its functional significance. In the present study, this conserved family's sole Drosophila member, a gene known both as...
