lgc-32 encodes a highly divergent member of the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) superfamily; lgc-32(RNAi) animals exhibit reduced fat content and microarray epxeriments indicate that lgc-32 expression is regulated in dauers and during aging.
Predicted to enable transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to contribute to chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in neuron projection and synapse.
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.
