gene: gcy-27 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable adenylate cyclase activity; guanylate cyclase activity; and peptide receptor activity. Involved in chemosensory behavior and sensory perception of bitter taste. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in amphid neurons and head mesodermal cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 6. Is an ortholog of human GUCY2C (guanylate cyclase 2C).
