nas-31 encodes an astacin family zinc metalloprotease with a single SXC/ShK toxin domain in addition to the EGF and CUB domains; nas-31 is expressed in the anal depressor, intestinal, and vulval muscles and head neurons.
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in molting cycle and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in AMshL; AMshR; PHshL; PHshR; and head.
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.
