    Presynaptic CaV2 calcium channel traffic requires CALF-1 and the α2δ subunit UNC-36

    In C. elegans, the unc-2 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated Ca2+ channel (CaV2) involved in neurotransmitter release. Here, the authors identify a protein, CALF-1, that regulates the presyna...

    Left-right olfactory asymmetry results from antagonistic functions of voltage-activated calcium channels and the Raw repeat protein OLRN-1 in C. elegans

    The left and right AWC olfactory neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans differ in their functions and in their expression of chemosensory receptor genes; in each animal, one AWC randomly takes on one identity, designa...
