gene: lev-9 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable peptidase inhibitor activity. Located in extracellular space. Expressed in body wall musculature; cholinergic neurons; dorsal nerve cord; nerve ring; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; IgA glomerulonephritis; autoimmune disease (multiple); and coronary artery disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including C4BPA (complement component 4 binding protein alpha); CR1 (complement C3b/C4b receptor 1 (Knops blood group)); and CR1L (complement C3b/C4b receptor 1 like).
