WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00006765 Gene Name  unc-29
Sequence Name  ? T08G11.5 Brief Description  unc-29 encodes an non-alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) superfamily; UNC-29 is required for normal locomotion and egg-laying, and functions as a subunit of a ligand-gated ion channel that likely mediates fast actions of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions and in the nervous system; when coexpressed with LEV-1, a non-alpha nAChR subunit, and UNC-38 or UNC-63, alpha AChR subunits, the resulting multimer can form levamisole-gated channels; UNC-29 is expressed in body wall muscle.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables acetylcholine-gated monoatomic cation-selective channel activity. Involved in several processes, including neuromuscular synaptic transmission; positive regulation of acetylcholine secretion, neurotransmission; and regulation of multicellular organismal process. Located in neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; head neurons; non-striated muscle; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy 1; and congenital myasthenic syndrome (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CHRNA1 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 1 subunit); CHRNA4 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit); and CHRNA6 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 6 subunit).

  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L3/L4 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.
