The response to high CO2 levels requires the neuropeptide secretion component HID-1 to promote pumping inhibition.

The response to high CO2 levels requires the neuropeptide secretion component HID-1 to promote pumping inhibition.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key molecule in many biological processes; however, mechanisms by which organisms sense and respond to high CO2 levels remain largely unknown. Here we report that acute CO2 exposure leads to a rapid cessation in the contraction of the pharynx muscles in Caenorhabditis elega...
