gene: erm-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables cytoskeletal anchor activity and structural molecule activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; nematode larval development; and protein localization to basolateral plasma membrane. Located in actin filament; apical part of cell; and membrane-enclosed lumen. Expressed in several structures, including PVD; excretory canal; germ line; germline precursor cell; and uterine toroidal epithelial cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 24 and immunodeficiency 50. Is an ortholog of human EZR (ezrin) and MSN (moesin).
