Caenorhabditis elegans p21-activated kinase (PAK) gene and associated loss-of-function phenotypes

摘要

The invention refers to a novel C. elegans p21-activated kinase gene, the pak-3 gene, and associated loss-of-function phenotypes. These phenotypes can be used to elucidate PAK signaling pathways in C. elegans and to screen compounds that modulate PAK signaling.
