Strain Information

Species C. elegans
Genotypelin-15B&lin-15A(n765) zfIs149 X.
DescriptionzfIs149 [flp-18p(3kb)::mCherry::SL2::FLP-18 + lin-15(+)] X. FLP-18 expressing neurons are labeled with cytosolic mCherry. Overexpression of FLP-18 causes uncoordinated locomotion. Animals exhibit exaggerated head and body bends, increased reversal frequency, and enhanced calcium transients in body-wall muscle. These phenotypes are suppressed by loss of NPR-5.
