[C.elegansII] NMK. Transcript present in dauer, adult;not detected in egg or L4. Encodes collagen,col-8 family. [Cox and Hirsh 1985; Liu et al. 1995; VT]
col-19 encodes a member of the collagen superfamily containing collagen triple helix repeats (20 copies) that is required for normal structure of the alae; expressed during the L2-to-dauer and L4-to-adult molts with strongest expression in adult animals.
A structural constituent of collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle. Involved in cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle. Located in alae of collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix and annuli extracellular matrix. Expressed in cuticle; hyp7 syncytium; syncytium; vulva; and in male.
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.
