par-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in several processes, including cellular localization; determination of adult lifespan; and first cell cycle pseudocleavage. Located in cell cortex and nucleus. Expressed in head neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); ovarian cancer; and urinary bladder cancer. Is an ortholog of human YWHAB (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein beta) and YWHAZ (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein zeta).
