gene: lin-32 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gliogenesis; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and neurogenesis. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including QL.a; QR.a; distal tip cell; oxygen sensory neurons; and ray precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness. Is an ortholog of human ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1).
