The protein product of this gene is 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 ABalppappa; ABarappppa; germ line; intestine; and neurons based on microarray; RNA-seq; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including dpy-10; hsf-1; and sir-2.1 based on microarray; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by eight chemicals including rotenone; metformin; and Sirolimus based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: Phosphorylation site.
