PLX-2 plays role in the cell movements for ventral enclosure in C. elegans
Title: Semaphorin and Eph receptor signaling guide a series of cell movements for ventral enclosure in C. elegans.
EFN-4 and PLX-2 are coexpressed in the late embryonic epidermis where they play redundant roles in MAB-20-dependent cell sorting.
