grl-7 encodes a hedgehog-like protein, with an N-terminal signalsequence, a central low-complexity region, and a C-terminal Ground-like(Grl) domain; GRL-7 is expressed in intestine, hypodermis, and seamcells; the Grl domain is predicted to form a cysteine-crosslinkedprotein involved in intercellular signalling, and it has subtlesimilarity to the N-terminal Hedge domain of HEDGEHOG proteins.
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.
