- Description
- che-1 encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger-containing transcription factor orthologous to Drosophila GLASS, which is required for photoreceptor cell differentiation; CHE-1 is required for determining the identity and function of the amphid ASE neurons, the major neurons that mediate chemotaxis to water-soluble attractants; CHE-1 is expressed predominantly in the ASE neurons and regulates, either directly or indirectly, the expression of a number of ASE-specific genes.
