htp-2 encodes, along with him-3, htp-1, and htp-3, one of four C. elegans meiosis-specific HORMA domain-containing proteins; HTP-2 is a component of the lateral element of the synaptonemal complex, and functions to regulate synaptonemal complex assembly and meiotic chromosome segregation.
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.
