Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-42 encodes a paired-like homeodomain protein of the Q50 class; UNC-42 is required to specify the fate of ASH sensory neurons, AVA, AVD, and AVE interneurons, and a subset of motor neurons; unc-42 mutants fail to express cell-surface receptors required for differentiated neuronal function (sra-6, srb-6, glr-1, glr-5, and glr-6); UNC-42 is also required for AVKR and HSNL growth cones to follow the PVPR and PVQL pioneer axons, for axonal outgrowth in the backward command interneurons AVA, AVD, and AVE, and for inhibition of ectopic FMRFamide-positive and GABAergic axons; unc-42 mutants are defective in mechanosensation, backward motion, and regulation of egg-laying.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002837

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including larval locomotory behavior; neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in hypodermis; nerve ring; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadism and panhypopituitarism. Is an ortholog of several human genes including ESX1 (ESX homeobox 1); PROP1 (PROP paired-like homeobox 1); and RHOXF2 (Rhox homeobox family member 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
