Description
nlp-22 is involved in embryo development and positive regulation of error-prone translesion synthesis; nlp-22 is expressed in certain interneurons, head, and the ventral nerve cord.
This Neuropeptide-Like Protein is a regulator of Caenorhabditis elegans sleep-like quiescence observed during lethargus. nlp-22 shows cyclical mRNA expression in synchrony with lethargus; it is regulated by LIN-42, an orthologue of the core circadian protein PERIOD; and it is expressed in the two RIA interneurons. nlp-22 and the RIA interneurons are required for normal lethargus quiescence, and forced expression of nlp-22 during active stages causes anachronistic locomotion and feeding quiescence.
