gene: ceh-37 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables DNA binding activity, bending and double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron fate specification; olfactory behavior; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Expressed in several structures, including ABarpaap; dorsal nerve cord; excretory cell; head muscle; and head neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 7 and cone-rod dystrophy 2. Is an ortholog of human CRX (cone-rod homeobox).
