Cell-cell interactions that specify certain cell fates in C. elegans development.
Cell-cell interactions are important for several cell fate decisions during C. elegans development. Two genes, lin-12 and glp-1, encode similar predicted transmembrane proteins that are members of a potentially ubiquitous family of proteins that may mediate intercellular communication.
