Protein
Serpentine receptor class beta-6
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Mediates recognition and avoidance of Streptomyces species by detecting dodecanoic acid secreted by the bacteria. Also mediates avoidance of decanoic acid which is not secreted by Streptomyces species but this may represent an additional important avoidance response in the environment.
Similarity
Belongs to the nematode receptor-like protein srb family.
