High impact information on ram-5
- Expression of ram-5 in the structural cell is required for sensory ray morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans male tail [1].
Anatomical context of ram-5
- Expression of ram-5 in these cells is required for normal ray morphogenesis. ram-5-dependent cell-cell communication is implicated in organizing the structural cell and the hypodermis, potentially through adhesion at the structural cell-hypodermal cell border [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ram-5
- Molecular cloning and expression studies revealed that the ram-5 gene encodes a transmembrane protein localized in sensory ray support cells, the structural cells [1].
