Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable beta-glucosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process. Expressed in hypodermis and intestine. Used to study kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including congenital lactase deficiency; end stage renal disease; and intracranial embolism.
