str-1 encodes a seven transmembrane receptor; an STR-1::GFP reporter fusion is expressed in the AWB amphid chemosensory neurons where it localizes to the cilia; str-1 expression in AWB is positively regulated by kin-29.
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled olfactory receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and olfactory behavior. Located in non-motile cilium.
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.
