Caenorhabditis elegans A structural constituent of collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle. Involved in cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle and post-embryonic body morphogenesis. Located in annular furrow extracellular matrix. Expressed in several structures, including P1; P12; P2; cuticle; and hypodermis. Used to study skin disease.
