dnc-4 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the dynactin p62/DNTN4 subunit; dnc-4 is an essential gene required for embryonic development and pronuclear migration; dnc-4 is also required for normal mitochondrial morphology; DNC-4 is part of the multisubunit dynactin complex in vivo.
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.
