flp-10 encodes a FMRFamide-related neuropeptide; in males, flp-10 activity is required for a sensory transduction pathway that negatively regulates the frequency of certain substeps of turning behavior during mating; a flp-10::gfp reporter is expressed in a number of neurons including AIM, ASI, AUA, BAG, BDU, DVB, PQR, PVR, and URX, and in the vulD cells.
Involved in negative regulation of egg-laying behavior; negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating; and thigmotaxis. Expressed in nerve ring and neurons.
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.
