WBGene00044994 | Gene Name | rax-4 |
| Brief Description | rax-4 was identified in screens for genes that regulate outgrowth and pathfinding of male sensory ray neuron axons; the rax-4 mutation, specific for ray neurons, results in defects in dorsoventral axon growth cone migration and genetic analyses suggest that rax-4 functions in the unc-6/netrin - unc-40/DCC pathway to regulate this aspect of ray neuron development; the rax-4 mutation also affects at least two aspects of male copulatory behavior: response to hermaphrodite and ventral turning. | Organism | Caenorhabditis elegans |
| Genetic Position | I :0.59482 ±0.248392 |
