"After cloning and expressing Ce-PK-R in HEK293T cells,we found that it was activated by a neuropeptide from the C. elegans NLP-44 precursor (EC50 = 18 nM)."
"we analyzed the expression of hsp-12.6, a daf-16 downstream gene, by using qRT-PCR. The results showed that heat stress increased hsp- 12.6 expression (Fig. 2B) as previously reported (Hsu et al., 2003; McColl et al., 2010)."
