ssq-1 encodes a member of the sperm-specific, class Q family of proteins; about 5% of ssq-1 transcripts are RNA edited to change A to G resulting in a change to residue 127 from an Gto a G.
Enriched in several structures, including amphid sheath cell; distal tip cell; germ line; neurons; and sperm based on RNA-seq; single-cell RNA-seq; and microarray studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and age-1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by twenty-six chemicals including Ethanol; methylmercury hydroxide; and nicotinic acid based on RNA-seq; microarray; and proteomic studies.
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.
