Second messenger levels in cilia versus soma. When odorant is removed from AWC, calcium levels increase in the cilia and the cell body, while cGMP levels increase slightly in the cilia but fall in the cell body. Likewise, when salt is removed from ASER, calcium levels increase in the cilia and cell body, and cGMP levels fall in the cell body. Preliminary data indicate that cGMP levels rise in the ASER cilia when salt is removed (S. Woldemariam and N. L’Etoile, personal communication).
