Gene :

WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00002128 Gene Name  inx-6
Sequence Name  ? C36H8.2 Brief Description  inx-6 encodes an innexin, an integral transmembrane channel protein that is a structural component of invertebrate gap junctions; INX-6 is required for formation of pharyngeal gap junctions and thus for the electrical coupling and synchronous muscle contractions necessary for normal feeding behavior and postembryonic development; INX-6 may function redundantly with EAT-5, another C. elegans innexin; INX-6 expression is first detected in embryonic pharyngeal precursors and during later larval and adult stages, in pharyngeal corpus muscles and isthmus marginal cells, where INX-6 localizes to plaque-like structures in the plasma membrane.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable gap junction hemi-channel activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in gap junction and plasma membrane. Expressed in head neurons; pharyngeal cell; and rectal valve cell.
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  IV :6.21268 ±0.015935

  Genes with increased RNA expression after 24 hours rotenone treatment EdgeR provides statistical routines for determining differential expression in digital gene expression data using a model based on the negative binomial distribution. The resulting p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochbergs approach for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR).

  Proteins that showed significantly decreased expression after 1-day-old wild type adults were exposed to cisplatin (300ug per mL) for 6 hours.

  Genes that showed oscillating mRNA expression level throughout the 16 hour time courses from L3 larva to young adult. The following three lines of R code were used to perform the classification: increasing <-2*amplitude-PC1 < -1.7; oscillating <-!increasing & (amplitude > 0.55); flat <-!increasing & !oscillating; Note that the amplitude of a sinusoidal wave corresponds to only half the fold change between trough and peak.

  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 all cell reference). A Mann-Whitney U test with an empirical background model and FDR correction for multiple testing was used to detect expressed transcripts (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995). Genes and TARs with an FDR <= 0.05 were reported as expressed above background. Authors detected differentially expressed transcripts using a method based on linear models. Genes and TARs were called differentially expressed if the FDR was <= 0.05 and the fold change (FC) >= 2.0. To more strictly correct for potential false-positives resulting from multiple sample comparisons, authors divided individual FDR estimates by the number of samplesor sample comparisons, respectively. This resulted in an adjusted FDR of 1.3 * 0.0001 for expression above background and of 7.4 * 0.0001 for differential expression. Authors called genes selectively enriched in a given tissue if they met the following requirements: (1) enriched expression in a given tissue (FDR <= 0.05 and FC >= 2.0), (2) fold change versus reference among the upper 40% of the positive FC range observed for this gene across all tissues, and (3) fold-change entropy among the lower 40% of the distribution observed for all genes.

No GO_term assigned.   Expr2606 Results from both GFP-expressing transgenes indicated that inx-6 is first detected during embryogenesis at the comma stage, in anterior cells that are likely to be the pharyngeal precursors. This pharynx-specific expression expands during the development of the pharynx to the end of embryogenesis, whereas inx-6 continues to be expressed in the corpus muscles and isthmus marginal cells of the pharynx throughout the larval and adult stages. The translational GFP fusion protein is expressed in a punctate expression pattern.

Expression in the nervous system: AVD, AVK, RIS, URB. Pharyngeal and neuronal expression of inx-6 start around threefold stage, and some of the expression in head and tail neurons disappears after L1 stage.
