rig-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Involved in several processes, including axon guidance; negative regulation of defecation rhythm; and regulation of locomotion. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and synapse. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; neurons; non-striated muscle; rectal epithelium; and spermatheca. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Compton-North congenital myopathy; familial adult myoclonic epilepsy 5; and high grade glioma. Is an ortholog of human CNTN6 (contactin 6).
