Towards understanding latrophilin signalling in C.elegans

Latrophilin (LAT-1) is a G -protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and mediates Black widow spider venom toxicity (Mee et al., 2004). A deletion in the lat-1(ok1465) gene (allele ok1465) in C. elegans causes 97% of worms to die during embryogenesis or early larval stages (Adenle, 2008). Thus latrophilin h...
