gene: nas-39 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in dorsal/ventral pattern formation and protein processing. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in neurons and pharyngeal muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial heart septal defect 6; coronary artery disease; and osteogenesis imperfecta type 13. Is an ortholog of human BMP1 (bone morphogenetic protein 1) and TLL2 (tolloid like 2).
