- Description
- dgk-3 encodes a diacylglycerol kinase that is the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian DGK-beta; dgk-3 activity is required for regulation of long-term thermotactic behavioral plasticity and for regulation of olfactory adaptation; large-scale expression studies have reported dgk-3 expression in head neurons, the intestine, and the pharyngeal lumen, while expression profiling indicates that dgk-3 is expressed in the AFD thermosensory neurons as well as a small number of additional sensory neurons.
