Innexin expression:
Makes gap junctions to multiple partners but major gap junctions are to EF1, EF2, PDC, AVL, PHB, DA08
(Jarrell et al., 2012; Male Wiring Project)
Receptor expression:
- UNC-8, a DEG/ENaC family member homologous to subunits of a candidate mechanically gated ion channel
(Tavernarakis et al., 1997)
Function:
- Innervates posterior dorsal body wall muscles. Likely controls mating posture in males along with male-specific PVV and PDC neurons
