Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid elongation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in head and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency and Alzheimer's disease. Is an ortholog of human HSD17B12 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 12).
Expressed in body wall musculature; germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Phosducin, N-terminal domain superfamily; Phosducin; Thioredoxin-like superfamily; and Phosducin, thioredoxin-like domain. Is an ortholog of human PDC (phosducin) and PDCL (phosducin like).
Involved in negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in PVM; head; nerve ring; and tail.
