WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00006762 Gene Name  unc-25
Sequence Name  ? Y37D8A.23 Brief Description  unc-25 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the GABA neurotransmitter biosynthetic enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD); unc-25 activity is required for GABA synthesis and thus for normal synaptic transmission and GABA-mediated behaviors; UNC-25 is expressed specifically in the 26 GABAergic neurons as soon as they are generated and localizes to cell bodies, axonal branches, and synaptic regions, including some localization to synaptic vesicles; in the 19 type D GABAergic neurons, unc-25 expression is positively regulated by the UNC-30 homeodomain transcription factor, which binds to the unc-25 promoter in a sequence-specific manner.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable glutamate decarboxylase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in GABAergic synaptic transmission. Located in axon; perikaryon; and synapse. Expressed in EF neuron and neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder; epilepsy; and spastic cerebral palsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; amphetamine abuse; and diabetes mellitus (multiple). Is an ortholog of human GAD1 (glutamate decarboxylase 1) and GAD2 (glutamate decarboxylase 2).

  Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants. Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)). WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in L1 neural cells comparing to in adult neural cells. DESeq2 (v1.18.1) fold change > 2, P-adj<0.05, using BenjaminiHochberg correction. WBPaper00060811:L1_vs_adult_upregulated_neural
  Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr 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.
