WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000086 Gene Name  aex-3
Sequence Name  ? C02H7.3 Brief Description  aex-3 encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the rab-3 GTPase that is orthologous to human MAP kinase activating protein containing death domain (MADD, OMIM:603584); AEX-3 is required for intracellular vesicle trafficking as well as synaptic vesicle release and interacts with CAB-1 and RAB-3 to regulate separate pathways for neural activities such as defecation and male mating, respectively; AEX-3 is also required for egg laying and locomotion; AEX-3 is expressed in nearly all neurons.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; mating; and positive regulation of digestive system process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Is an ortholog of human MADD (MAP kinase activating death domain).

  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.
