High impact information on flr-1

  • The flr-1 gene encodes a novel ion channel belonging to the DEG/ENaC (C. elegans degenerin and mammalian epithelial sodium channel) superfamily [1].
  • A flr-1::GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion gene that can rescue the flr-1 mutant phenotypes is expressed only in the intestine from embryos to adults [1].
  • To elucidate the mechanism, we studied flr-1 mutants, which show very short defecation cycle periods [1].
  • Mutants in three of the genes (class 1 genes: flr-1 X, flr-3 IV, and flr-4 X) are resistant to 400 micrograms/ml NaF [2].
