cux-7 encodes an conserved but unfamiliar protein orthologous to the human gene XE7 and the Drosophila gene CG2179-PA; since cux-7 is in an operon with clk-2, CUX-7 might have some role in telomere maintenance, development or rhythmic behavior; however, cux-7 currently has no known function, and is dispensable for viability and gross morphology in mass RNAi screens.
Enriched in OLL; body wall muscle cell; germ line; and interneuron based on microarray; tiling array; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-2; skn-1; and dpy-10 based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is affected by five chemicals including D-glucose; Zidovudine; and paraquat based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Human AKAP17A enables protein kinase A binding activity. Is an ortholog of human AKAP17A (A-kinase anchoring protein 17A).
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.
