Public Gene Name

osm-10  

Sequence Name

T20H4.1  

WB ID

WBGene00003890  

Description

osm-10 encodes a novel protein conserved amongst several Caenorhabditis species; osm-10 activity is required for normal osmosensory signaling in the ASH sensory neuron; in regulating ASH-mediated osmosensation, osm-10 interacts genetically with eos-1 and eos-2; OSM-10 is expressed in the ASH, ASI, PHA, and PHB sensory neurons beginning just prior to hatching and continuing through larval and adult stages; OSM-10 localizes to cell bodies, sensory processes, and axons.
