Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncasy-1 encodes a type I transmembrane protein with two extracellular cadherin domains and an LG/LNS domain that is the sole C. elegans calsyntenin/alcadein ortholog; genetic studies indicate that in C. elegans casy-1 activity is required, in parallel to the insulin-like signaling pathway, for several types of learning, including salt chemotaxis learning, temperature learning, olfactory adaptation, and integration of two sensory stimuli; large-scale RNAi experiments also suggest that casy-1 plays a role in embryonic development; casy-1 expression in adult animals is able to rescue salt chemotaxis learning defects, indicating that CASY-1 function in mature animals is sufficient to effect proper chemotactic behavior; in addition, CASY-1 expression in the ASER neuron, but not other neurons, rescues salt chemotaxis learning defects, indicating the CASY-1 can act solely in this chemosensory neuron for normal salt chemotaxis learning; a casy-1::GFP promoter fusion is expressed throughout the nervous system, including the head amphid sensory neurons, with additional expression seen in the intestine and gonadal sheath cells; a CASY-1::GFP protein fusion localizes to the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes of neuronal cell bodies, with specific N-terminal fusions indicative of CASY-1 ectodomain release into the extracellular space; domain-specific rescue experiments indicate that the secreted, proteolytically processed CASY-1 extracellular domain is sufficient to rescue salt chemotaxis learning defects.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004508

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable several functions, including X11-like protein binding activity; amyloid-beta binding activity; and kinesin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; olfactory learning; and positive regulation of synaptic vesicle transport. Located in several cellular components, including extracellular region; neuromuscular junction; and neuronal cell body membrane. Expressed in neurons. Is an ortholog of human CLSTN2 (calsyntenin 2) and CLSTN3 (calsyntenin 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (27)
RemarkMap 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
