Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontax-2 encodes a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel beta subunit orthologous to the human gene ROD PHOTORECEPTOR CNG-CHANNEL BETA SUBUNIT (CNGB1; OMIM:600724), which when mutated leads to disease; TAX-2 activity is required for chemosensation, thermosensation, regulation of dauer larval development, normal axon guidance for some sensory neurons, and regulation of axonal outgrowth and morphology in late larval stages; a tax-2::GFP promoter fusion is expressed in nine pairs of amphid sensory neurons and a TAX-2::GFP fusion protein localizes to developing axons and sensory cilia.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002584

Automated_descriptionContributes to intracellular cGMP-activated cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway coupled to cGMP nucleotide second messenger; negative regulation of cGMP-mediated signaling; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Part of cation channel complex. Expressed in ciliated neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 3 and retinitis pigmentosa 45. Is an ortholog of human CNGB1 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 1) and CNGB3 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit beta 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
