gene: unc-64 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; positive regulation of anterior/posterior axon guidance; and ventral cord development. Located in axon; basolateral plasma membrane; and somatodendritic compartment. Expressed in several structures, including excretory gland cell; hermaphrodite gonad; intestine; nervous system; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; Hirschsprung's disease; and generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 9. Is an ortholog of human STX1A (syntaxin 1A).
