Characterization of TMC-1 in C. elegans sodium chemotaxis and sodium conditioned aversion

Abstract Background While sodium is attractive at low and aversive at high concentrations in most studied species, including Caenorhabditis elegans, the molecular mechanisms behind transduction remain poorly understood. Additionally, past studies with C. elegans provide evidence that the nematode’s...
