flp-5 encodes a predicted FMRFamide-like peptide neurotransmitter that increases action potential frequency in the pharyngeal muscle when applied to the pharynx of dissected worms; expressed in the sensory neurons ASE and PVM.
Predicted to be involved in neuropeptide signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in head; neurons; and pharyngeal muscle cell.
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.
