unc-68 encodes a ryanodine receptor involved in regulating C. elegans body-wall muscle contraction.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Aug 1996

Maryon E B, Coronado R, Anderson P

Abstract excerpt

Striated muscle contraction is elicited by the release of stored calcium ions through ryanodine receptor channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. ryr-1 is a C. elegans ryanodine receptor homologue that is expressed in body-wall muscle cells used for locomotion. Using genetic methods, we show that ryr-1 is the previously identified locus unc-68. First, transposon-induced deletions within ryr-1 are alleles of...
