Protein
Serpentine receptor class alpha-13
Organism
Caenorhabditis briggsae
Function
Chemosensory receptor that negatively regulates RAS/MAPK signaling during vulva induction and the negative regulation of olfaction of volitile attractants. Required for the suppression of vulval induction in response to food starvation. Signaling acts through the GPA-5 G-alpha protein subunit (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the nematode receptor-like protein sra family.
