Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongcy-8 encodes a receptor-type guanylyl cyclase that, along with gcy-18 and gcy-23, constitutes a subfamily of guanylyl cyclase genes in C. elegans; gcy-8 functions redundantly with gcy-18 and gcy-23, and upstream of tax-4, to regulate thermotaxis via the AFD thermosensory neurons, although of the three guanylyl cyclases required, genetic analyses suggest that GCY-18 is the primary guanylyl cyclase required; GCY-8 is expressed exclusively in the AFD thermosensory neurons where it localizes to sensory endings; GCY-8 expression in the AFD neurons requires activity of the TAX-2/4 cyclic nucleotide gated channel and the CMK-1 Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I, while maintenance of GCY-8 expression requires the OTD/OTX homeodomain protein TTX-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002839

C49H3.2 is dead merged into .1 [sdm 11.2000]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
