Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongcy-18 encodes a receptor-type guanylyl cyclase that, along with gcy-8 and gcy-23, constitutes a subfamily of guanylyl cyclase genes in C. elegans; gcy-18 functions redundantly with gcy-8 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; in addition, microarray experiments indicate that gcy-18 expression is induced in daf-16(RNAi); daf-2(RNAi) double mutants and repressed in daf-2(RNAi) mutants, suggesting that GCY-18 activity may contribute to a shortened lifespan; consistent with this, loss of gcy-18 activity via RNAi does result in lifespan extension; GCY-18 is expressed exclusively in the AFD thermosensory neurons, where it localizes to sensory endings.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002839

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable adenylate cyclase activity; guanylate cyclase activity; and peptide receptor activity. Involved in detection of temperature stimulus; thermosensory behavior; and thermotaxis. Located in microvillus membrane and neuron projection terminus. Expressed in intestine and nervous system.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

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
