Distinct roles for two Caenorhabditis elegans acid-sensing ion channels in an ultradian clock

Distinct roles for two Caenorhabditis elegans acid-sensing ion channels in an ultradian clock

Biological clocks are fundamental to an organism’s health, controlling periodicity of behaviour and metabolism. Here, we identify two acid-sensing ion channels, with very different proton sensing properties, and describe their role in an ultradian clock, the defecation motor program (DMP) of the nem...
