gene: unc-89 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables MATH domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including myofibril assembly; pharyngeal gland morphogenesis; and regulation of striated muscle contraction. Located in M band. Expressed in alimentary muscle; gonad; tail; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in centronuclear myopathy 5. Is an ortholog of human SPEG (striated muscle enriched protein kinase).
