Transcription regulatory networks in Caenorhabditis elegans

Gene

Public Gene Name

gcy-37  

Sequence Name

C54E4.3  

WB ID

WBGene00001557  

Description

gcy-37 encodes a predicted soluble guanylyl cyclase that is expressed in four candidate sensory neurons connected to the pseudocoelom, URXL, URXR, AQR, and PQR; as loss of gcy-37 activity via RNA-mediated interference does not result in any abnormalities, the precise role of GCY-37 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known; GCY-37 expression in neurons connected to the pseudocoelom suggests, however, that GCY-37 may play a role in fluid homeostasis.
