Enriched in ADL; AFD; amphid sheath cell; and neurons based on RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and age-1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by methylmercuric chloride and procyanidin based on microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, metal-binding domain and SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, cation-binding domain.
