[C.elegansII] e138amb : weak kinker, tends to back, often forms omega shape; fairly active; healthy. Severe kinker in L1. Suppresses anaesthetic hypersensitivity of unc-79 and unc-80 mutants.ES3 ME1. OA>10: e448, e927pdi, e1172icr, e2386, q327 etc. Cloned: cosmid rescue (C56C3). [Riddle and Brenner 1978; Morgan et al. 1991; MQ]
unc-24 encodes a protein that contains a stomatin-like domain and a lipid transfer domain; unc-24 activity is essential for normal locomotion and for wild-type sensitivity to lipid-soluble volatile anesthetics; unc-24 is genetically epistatic to unc-79 and to unc-1, which encodes an additional stomatin whose stability and localization to the nerve ring are dependent upon UNC-24; unc-24 is expressed in the touch receptor neurons as well as neurons in the ventral cord.
