Embryonic handedness choice in C. elegans involves the Galpha protein GPA-16.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2003

Bergmann Dominique C, Lee Monica, Robertson Barbara, Tsou Meng-Fu B, Rose Lesilee S, Wood William B

Abstract excerpt

The mechanism by which polarity of the left-right (LR) axis is initially established with the correct handedness is not understood for any embryo. C. elegans embryos exhibit LR asymmetry with an invariant handedness that is first apparent at the six-cell stage and persists throughout development....
