mec-14 encodes a protein with similarity to the beta-subunits of Shaker-type potassium channels, which are members of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily; MEC-14 is required for response to gentle touch by the six touch receptor neurons, and likely functions to regulate activity of the MEC-4 and MEC-10 degenerin channels; mec-14 expression is detected solely in the touch receptor neurons and is dependent on the MEC-3 LIM domain transcription factor; proper MEC-14 localization in the touch receptor neurons is dependent on MEC-12/alpha-tubulin.
