The gpc-1 gene encodes a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein gamma subunit, expressed specifically in sensory neurons, that is involved in taste adaptation.
Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity. Involved in sensory perception of taste. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Expressed in RIB; amphid neurons; and phasmid neurons. Is an ortholog of human GNG7 (G protein subunit gamma 7).
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.
