R04E5.2 encodes a predicted transmembrane protein orthologous to humanACDP1-ACDP4 and S. cerevisiae MAM3, and paralogous to C01H6.6, C33D12.2,C52D10.12, M02F4.3, and R13G10.4; by orthology with MAM3, R04E5.2 mayparticipate in metal homoeostasis; R04E5.2, MAM3, and ACDP1-ACDP4 belongto a family of proteins (sharing an ACD domain) from bacteria, yeast,plants, and metazoa; murine Acdp1 is a plasma membrane protein;bacterial proteins containing the ACD domain include CorC fromSalmonella typhimurium, which is involved in magnesium and cobaltefflux; R04E5.2 has no obvious function in RNAi assays.
Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan and positive regulation of gonad development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Jalili syndrome and renal hypomagnesemia 6. Is an ortholog of several human genes including CNNM1 (cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 1); CNNM3 (cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 3); and CNNM4 (cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 4).
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.
