T24B8.5 encodes an ShK-like toxin peptide containing a domain rich in cysteine residues found in the sea anemone potassium channel inhibitor ShK; T24B8.5 expression is regulated by the PMK-1/p38 MAPK signaling pathway and the ATF-7 transcription factor, which is a downstream target of PMK-1.
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.
