Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-103 ERG-like potassium channel regulates contractile behaviors of sex muscles in males before and during mating.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Apr 2003

Garcia L Rene, Sternberg Paul W

Abstract excerpt

During mating behavior the Caenorhabditis elegans male must regulate periodic and prolonged protractor muscle contractions to insert his copulatory spicules into his mate. The protractors undergo periodic contractions to allow the spicules to reattempt insertion if a previous thrust failed to bre...
