Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmec-18 encodes a protein similar to firefly luciferase and plant protein 4-coumarate coA ligase; mec-18 is involved in sensory mechanotransduction; genetic interactions with other mec genes suggest that mec-18 may be involved in negative regulation of the degenerin channel in the touch receptor neurons; mec-18 is expressed exclusively in the touch cells.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001871

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable CoA-ligase activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch and mechanosensory behavior. Located in neuron projection and neuronal cell body. Expressed in PLML; PLMR; and touch receptor neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
