gene: spe-9 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in single fertilization. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; cytoplasm; and pseudopodium. Expressed in sperm and spermatid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Adams-Oliver syndrome; limb ischemia; and temporal arteritis. Is an ortholog of human DLL1 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 1) and DLL4 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 4).
