Protein
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in the nose-touch response and foraging behavior. Contributes to the neural responses of sensory neurons to touch, particularly after repeated mechanical stimulation. Has no apparent role in thermosensory or chemosensory behaviors.
Similarity
Belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family.
