Spatial asymmetry in the mechanosensory phenotypes of the C. elegans DEG/ENaC gene mec-10.

Journal of neurophysiology - 1 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

DEG/ENaC channels have been broadly implicated in mechanosensory transduction, yet many questions remain about how these proteins contribute to complexes that sense mechanical stimuli. In C. elegans, two DEG/ENaC channel subunits are thought to contribute to a gentle touch transduction complex: MEC-4, which is essential for gentle touch sensation, and MEC-10, whose importance is less well defined. By...
