ugt-34 encodes a putative UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), belongingto a large nematode-specific expanded family of UGTs, that inhibitsCEP-1- and HUS-1-dependent germline apoptosis as do BMK-1, RAD-50, andRAD-51.
Predicted to enable UDP-glycosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be located in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoporosis. Is an ortholog of several human genes including UGT2B10 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B10); UGT2B4 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B4); and UGT2B7 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B7).
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.
