- Description
- unc-30 encodes a homeodomain-containing protein that is orthologous to the Pitx family of homeodomain transcription factors; during develpoment, UNC-30 controls the terminal differentiation of all 19 type D GABA-ergic motor neurons by directly regulating the expression of UNC-25/GAD and UNC-47/VGAT, which regulate GABA formation and secretion, respectively; UNC-30 is expressed most strongly in type D motor neurons during early L1 and L2 larval stages.
