CELL TYPE LINEAGE LOCATION NEUROTRANSMITTER ASSOCIATED GLIA

ASKL
ASKR

Sensory neuron
(Chemosensory)
AB alpppapppa
AB praaaapppa Lateral ganglia of head
Glutamate.

Express VGluT, EAT-4 (Lee R.Y.N. et al 1999)

Express neuropeptide-like proteins, NLP-8, NLP-10, NLP-14 (Nathoo A. et al 2001).
AMsh and AMso

DESCRIPTION

Amphid neurons, single ciliated endings, project into ring via commissure from ventral ganglion, make diverse synaptic connections in ring neuropil. Also take up FITC.

Functions: Involved in chemotaxis to lysine (Bargmann C.I. and Horvitz H.R. 1991).

Receptor expression: Express mammalian capsaicin receptor-like protein OSM-9 (Colbert H.A. et al 1997). Express G protein-coupled serpentine receptors, SRA-7 , SRA-9, SRG-2, SRG-8 (Troemel E. et al 1995). Express transmembrane guanylyl cyclase DAF-11 (Birnby D.A. et al 2000).
