Protein
Nuclear hormone receptor family member odr-7
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Required for the function of one pair of chemosensory neurons called AWA neurons that are involved in chemotaxis to volatile odorants. Acts in a pathway that specifies olfactory neuronal fate. Regulates the transcription of olfactory signaling molecules such as odr-10 that specify AWA neuron identity and function. Represses the expression in AWA neurons of factors such as str-2 which specify AWC neuron identity.
Similarity
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR0 subfamily.
