Psychiatry related information on gpa-3

Interactions between gpa-2, gpa-3 and other genes controlling dauer formation suggest that these G proteins may act in parallel to regulate the neuronal decision making that precedes dauer formation [1].

High impact information on gpa-3

The predicted amino acid sequences of gpa-1 and gpa-3 are only 48% identical to each other [2].

Biological context of gpa-3

The corresponding cosmid clones were isolated and mapped to disperse locations on chromosome V. The sequences of two of the genes, gpa-1 and gpa-3, were determined [2].
PCR amplification of putative gpa-2 and gpa-3 orthologs from the (A+T)-rich genome of Strongyloides stercoralis [3].
