Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel

UniProtKB accession:  Q03611

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Pore-forming subunit of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (By similarity). Required for normal thermosensation and chemosensation sensory behavior (PubMed:8893027). Required, downstream of receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-9, for CO2-mediated responses in BAG neurons (PubMed:21173231). Required, downstream of receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-14, for alkaline pH-mediated responses in ASE-left (ASEL) neurons (PubMed:23664973). Involved in the development of ASJ sensory neuron axon during late larval stages and in the maintenance of normal axon morphology in the adult. Regulates dauer formation (PubMed:9486798). Required for the calcium flux to the cytoplasm in the ASJ sensory neurons upon the onset and removal of a nitric oxide (NO) stimulus, thereby promoting the ASJ-mediated behavioral avoidance response to NO-producing organisms like P.aeruginosa (PubMed:30014846). In ASI and ASJ sensory neurons, controls behavioral response to P.aeruginosa by up-regulating the transcription of daf-7, a member of the TGF-beta family (PubMed:25303524). In AWB and AWC sensory neurons, mediates the recognition of food odors which subsequently allows for the detection of preferred food sources (PubMed:25009271). In AWC neurons, acts to promote expression of srsx-3, a member of the GPCR family. Binding to cGMP results in conformational changes at the hydrophobic gate that converts the protein from an inactive closed state to an active open state (PubMed:28099415, PubMed:32483338, PubMed:35233102).
