The protein product of this gene is predicted to contain a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich ('prion') domain, by the algorithm of Michelitsch and Weissman (as of the WS77 release of WormBase, i.e., in wormpep77).
Is affected by several genes including daf-2; pmk-1; and clk-1 based on tiling array; microarray; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by ten chemicals including aldicarb; Neurotoxins; and Cry5B based on microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Protein of unknown function (DUF1096) and Protein of unknown function DUF1096.
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.
