Abstract excerpt
The heterotrimeric G protein G(o) is abundantly expressed in the mammalian nervous system and modulates neural activities in response to various ligands. However, G(o)'s functions in living animals are less well understood. Here, we demonstrate that GOA-1 G(o)alpha has a fundamental role in olfactory adaptation in Caenorhabditis elegans. Impairment of GOA-1 G(o)alpha function and excessive activation of EGL-30...
