Drebrin-like protein regulates body bending of C. elegans via suppression of NCA cationleak channels

Eugenia Butkevich, Peter Weist, Daniel Haertter, Dieter R. Klopfenstein, Renata Garcés, Christoph F. Schmidt

The paper identifies DBN-1 as a regulator of body bending in C. elegans by suppressing NCA cation leak channels, leading to hyper-bending in mutants.
