gene: spon-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in axon development; cell adhesion mediated by integrin; and muscle attachment. Located in M band; basement membrane; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in basal lamina; coelomocyte; excretory canal; and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human SPON1 (spondin 1).
