ZC21.3 encodes a protein predicted to contain a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich ('prion') domain, by the algorithm of Michelitsch and Weissman (as of the WS77 release of WormBase, i.e., in wormpep77).
Enriched in several structures, including ABplppppaa; ABprppppaa; AUA; accessory cell; and head mesodermal cell based on RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and skn-1 based on RNA-seq; tiling array; and microarray studies. Is affected by nineteen chemicals including Ethanol; 1-methylnicotinamide; and nicotinic acid based on RNA-seq and microarray studies.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
