Gene

flp-8

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
flp-8
Name
FMRF-Like Peptide 8
Synonyms
  • CELE_F31F6.4
  • F31F6.4
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Involved in negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in PVM; head; somatic nervous system; and tail.
WB Description
flp-8 encodes three copies of a FMRFamide-related short peptide neurotransmitter; although the FLP-8 peptide can increase pharyngeal action potential frequency, loss of FLP-8 function does not result in a mutant phenotype, suggesting that FLP-8 may function redundantly with other FMRFamide-like peptides in the nervous system; FLP-8 expression is detected in embryos and larval stages, but not in adults; FLP-8 is expressed in the sensory neurons ASEL/R, URXL/R, and PVM.
