Chemoreception is mediated in Caenorhabditis elegans by membersof the seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor class (7TM GPCRs) of proteins which are of the serpentine type [1]. Srh is part of the Str superfamily of chemoreceptors [2]. Chemoperception is one of the central senses of soil nematodes like C. elegans which are otherwise 'blind' and 'deaf' [3].
