Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway is implicated in various physiological processes, including neuronal functions. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, TGF-β plays an important role in behaviors like nictation, a behavior crucial for dispersal. Through forward mutagenesis screening, we identified tax-4, a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel, as a suppressor of nictation defects in daf-7...
