gene: unc-59 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GTPase activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in egg-laying behavior; locomotion; and post-embryonic development. Located in cleavage furrow and midbody. Expressed in several structures, including buccal cavity; distal tip cell; germ line; pharynx; and sperm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's disease. Is an ortholog of human SEPTIN7 (septin 7).
