Enriched in intestine; neurons; and somatic gonad precursor based on microarray; tiling array; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-2; skn-1; and glp-1 based on microarray; tiling array; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by thirteen chemicals including rotenone; Psoralens; and allantoin based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 38 and Tetratricopeptide-like helical domain superfamily. Is an ortholog of human TTC38 (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 38).
