CELL TYPE LINEAGE LOCATION NEUROTRANSMITTER ASSOCIATED GLIA

ASIL
ASIR
Sensory neuron (Chemosensory) AB plaapapppa
AB praapapppa Lateral ganglia of head Express neuropeptide-like proteins, NLP-1, NLP-5, NLP-6, NLP-7, NLP-9, NLP-14, NLP-18, NLP-24, NLP-27 (Nathoo A. et al 2001). AMsh and AMso

DESCRIPTION

Amphid neurons, single ciliated endings, project into ring via commissure from ventral ganglion, make diverse synaptic connections in ring neuropil. Also take up FITC.

Functions: Involved in chemotaxis to lysine, contribute to a residual chemotactic response to cAMP, biotin, Cl-, and Na+ after ASE is killed (Bargmann C.I. and Horvitz H.R. 1991). Controls entry into dauer stage (Bargmann C.I. and Horvitz H.R. 1991).

Receptor expression: Express G protein-coupled serpentine receptors, SRD-1, STR-2, STR-3 (Peckol E.L. et al. 2001). Express transmembrane guanylyl cyclase DAF-11 (Birnby D.A. et al 2000).
