Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionaex-2 encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor; aex-2 functions in the nervous system to activate a G(s) alpha (gsa-1) signaling pathway that regulates defecation in the hermaphrodite digestive tract; in regulating the defecation cycles, AEX-2 likely serves as the receptor for the NLP-40 neuropeptide secreted by the intestine; an AEX-2::GFP reporter fusion is expressed in the nerve ring, ventral nerve cord, the head mesodermal cell and enteric muscles; tissue-specific expression studies suggest that AEX-2 acts in GABAergic neurons, such as AVL and DVB, to control the expulsion, and possibly anterior body contraction, steps of defecation.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002688

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable neuropeptide receptor activity. Involved in lipid transport involved in lipid storage; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and positive regulation of transport. Predicted to be located in cilium and plasma membrane. Expressed in alimentary muscle; head mesodermal cell; intestine; and nervous system.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
