ppk23-Dependent chemosensory functions contribute to courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Insects utilize diverse families of ion channels to respond to environmental cues and control mating, feeding, and the response to threats. Although degenerin/epithelial sodium channels (DEG/ENaC) represent one of the largest families of ion channels in Drosophila melanogaster, the physiological functions of these proteins are still poorly understood. We found that the DEG/ENaC channel ppk23 is expressed in a...
