Subcellular_localizationTAX-6 appears to be expressed in the entire cytoplasm of these neurons. In head sensory neurons, for example, GFP fluorescence was visible at sensory cilia, dendrites, axons, and cell bodies.
TypeReporter_gene
PatternpAK13 drove TAX-6 expression mostly in sensory neurons, including the thermosensory AFD neurons, the chemosensory ASE, AWA, and AWC neurons, and the osmosensory ASH neurons.
pAK13 is expressed in ASI, ADF, ASH, ASK, ADL, AUA, PHA, PHB, AVE. It is also expressed in AFD, ASE, AWA, AWC, AVK, AIM, RMDV, AVA.

RemarkCells expressing TAX-6 were visualized using several tax-6::gfp fusion genes. The expression of tax-6 is under diverse transcriptional controls.
Introducing pAK13 into tax-6 mutants rescued thermotaxis and all other defects.
