Involved in dauer larval development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; gonad; head muscle; neurons; and somatic nervous system.
ins-2 is an EMBL gene name (not CGC-approved) and became an other-name of ins-17 as their protein sequences are identical. This unofficial ins-2 is not the same as the CGC ins-2 (ZK75.2)
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.
