The cat-1 gene encodes a synaptic vesicular monoamine transporter that has been reported to be expressed in several neurons (Shawn Lockery, personal communication), including VC4, VC5 and the HSNs.
Three additional AWB-expressed chemoreceptor genes (srab-16, srab-24, and str-163) were identified via expression pattern analyses of gfp reporter fusion genes generated by the C. elegans gene expression project (www.wormbase.org; C. Bargmann, personal communication).

In accordance with previous observations, GFP::SKR-7 is widely expressed in L1 and L2 larvae, but is not apparent in L3, L4 or adult animals. GFP::SKR-7 was also detected throughout embryos. This embryonic expression pattern has not been reported, but is consistent with previous unpublished observations (K. Namayaka, personal communication).
