pas-7 encodes a proteasome alpha-type three subunit of the core 20S proteasome subcomplex; loss of pas-7 activity via RNAi results in several defects including embryonic and larval lethality, sterility, and abnormal meiotic progression.
Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is an ortholog of human PSMA3 (proteasome 20S subunit alpha 3).
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.
