bir-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome organization; egg-laying behavior; and inductive cell migration. Located in condensed chromosome and spindle midzone. Expressed in egg-laying apparatus; hypodermis; pharynx; rectal muscle; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); ductal carcinoma in situ; and endometrial hyperplasia. Is an ortholog of human BIRC5 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5).
