grl-2 encodes a hedgehog-like protein, with an N-terminal signalsequence, a central proline-rich low-complexity region, and a C-terminalGround-like (Grl) domain; GRL-2 is expressed in neurons, amphid socketcells, and other cells; the Grl domain is predicted to form acysteine-crosslinked protein involved in intercellular signalling, andit has subtle similarity to the N-terminal Hedge domain of HEDGEHOGproteins.
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.
