Otx/otd homeobox genes specify distinct sensory neuron identities in C. elegans.

Developmental cell - 1 Oct 2003

Lanjuin Anne, VanHoven Miri K, Bargmann Cornelia I, Thompson Julia K, Sengupta Piali

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms by which the diverse functional identities of neurons are generated are poorly understood. C. elegans responds to thermal and chemical stimuli using 12 types of sensory neurons. The Otx/otd homolog ttx-1 specifies the identities of the AFD thermosensory neurons. We show here that ceh-36 and ceh-37, the remaining two Otx-like genes in the C. elegans genome, specify the identities of AWC, ASE, and...
