WormMine: RNAi WBRNAi00085213

• WormBase ID: WBRNAi00085213
• Phenotype Remark: RNAi of mps-2 enhanced the taste of the animal for sodium without altering the susceptibility to other attractants. In addition mps-2 RNAi animals are more responsive to lower sodium gradients.
• Remark: Exact sequence used for RNAi not stated by authors, spliced coding region sequence of gene used for curation (K01A2.8c.1).

Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0001461	sodium acetate chemotaxis variant	Any variation in the directed movement of a worm in response to a specific concentration gradient of sodium acetate. In C. elegans, at specific concentrations, sodium acetate is an attractant. Sodium acetate has also been used to assay for Na+ attraction.
